Our recycling for schools scheme is really simple. You recycle your unwanted and used inkjet cartridges with us using our freepost recycling label and/or our free courier collection, and in return we pay your school for the items we can recycle. Not only are you able to help reduce the waste that goes to landfill, you can use the scheme to help fundraise for your school (and score some all-important points with your teachers!).

Check out our price list for details of the cartridges we can accept.

Your freepost label will be trackable to your school, so we can keep tabs on exactly how much your school has raised through the scheme.

And anyone can recycle for your school – pupils, teachers, friends of the school, the PTA, local businesses – the list is endless! It’s fundraising for your school made easy!

As we have a zero landfill policy, it is important that the items you send to us are those which are on our price list. We would love to take all items from your school, but as we are 100% committed to not sending anything to landfill, we ask that your school helps us care for the environment by checking the list.

Unfortunately we cannot make a donation for toners - however, if you have some original toners you would like to recycle, please contact us for further information.

Getting your school involved in our recycling scheme couldn’t be easier. Your teacher simply needs to set up a free recycling account with us and download our freepost recycling label. This can be done online in our sign up section. In our resources section you will find posters and banners for your school to use to help promote the scheme.

If you think your school would like to take part, why not print off one of our posters in the resources section to hand to your teacher? If your teacher would like to talk to our recycling team for more information, they simply need to call (Freephone) 0800 091 0696 or email schools@trf-uk.com.

For inkjet cartridges successfully recycled your school will receive up to £3.50. To view the cartridges we pay for, please click here. Our recycling list is updated on or around the 1st of each month.

Payments to your school will be made once its account reaches over £20 – which means your school will start to see the benefits of your hard work straight away.

Your teacher can login to our recycling hub at any time for an update on how much has been raised and to view activity to date. We’ll also feature the top fundraising schools on our leader board, so be sure to keep an eye out!

Not at all – the scheme is completely free of charge! Our freepost label and courier collections are totally free too.

Your school can recycle using our pre-paid freepost label and/or using our free courier collection service for larger volumes. Our freepost label is perfect for collecting amounts of inkjet cartridges under 1kg – simply pop the items into your own packaging, affix the label and send back to us for free.

Our free courier collection is ideal for collecting large volumes of inkjet cartridges (e.g. 100 or more cartridges). Your school just needs to pop your inkjet cartridges in a suitable container, e.g. a box, print out the freepost label and affix to the box. When the box is full your school simply needs to call us on 0800 091 0696 to arrange for a free courier collection.

There are so many ways for you and your school to promote the scheme – from displaying our posters (see resources) and putting collection boxes in your school reception area, to handing out the freepost labels at school events. Why not suggest that pupils take labels home for their family and friends to use? Perhaps your PTA could use the materials at their fundraising events? You could promote the fundraising scheme and downloadable label on your school website, through e-newsletters and your school magazine.
