Read, Recycle, Rock On!

Turn your *trash* into library book *cash*. You can raise money for the Austin Public Library by recycling your empty inkjet and toner cartridges at any of the 21 Austin Public Library locations or at Megabyte Express, 6500 Burnet Rd.

Since the program's inception in 2002, the Austin Public Library and Megabyte Express have collected and recycled over 10,000 used inkjet and toner cartridges that would have found their way into the Austin landfills. That means thousands of dollars in library resources!

Companies who would like to participate in raising funds for the library can request their own recycling bins by contacting Bill Breed, 512-452-8855.

For additional information about how you can raise money for the library by recycling used inkjet and toner cartridges please call (512) 974-7379 or visit www.cityofaustin.org/library.
