Recycling plan aims to raise €250,000

A NOVEL recycling fundraiser launched yesterday aims to raise €250,000 for brain-damaged children.

Babies who are born with, or later suffer, brain damage cannot function and require 24-hour care, the cost of which is not covered by most state or private insurance schemes.

The initiative, by the Jack and Jill Foundation and IT company Ergo, is hoping to collect 100,000 Inkjet, Laser and Fax Toner cartridges from businesses and homes and raise €250,000 by re-manufacturing them.
