Welcome to The Scouts Appeal – the easiest way to fundraise for your Boy Scout or Girl Scout Group. Scouts Appeal is a free program designed to make money by recycling cell phones, PDAs, Blackberry and printer cartridges.
Scouts Appeal is a fantastic fundraising recycling program for Scout Groups across America. Your group will earn cash for every reusable cell phone, PDA, Blackberry and empty printer cartridge recycled - so the more you collect the more money you will raise!
What to collect
Cell phones, PDAs and Blackberrys have a higher value than printer cartridges so will raise the most money. However, cartridges are more plentiful, so collect both!
Lots of people have unwanted cell phones in their homes and businesses generally upgrade their handsets each year so ask both individuals and companies to participate in your program.
Laser and inkjet cartridges are found in printers, fax machines and desktop copiers– so if anyone you know works in an office or has a home computer ask for their used cartridges!
The vast majority of cell phones and cartridges will generate cash, but there are some which don’t have a value.
