The cartridges are inspected and assigned points. Currently there are more than 200 different technology-related products from which to choose. There are a few caveats. For example, Nashua, Data Products, and Xerox cartridges are re-manufactured products and are not accepted. Another note of caution concerns the fragility of cartridges.
Schools receive no points for the broken cartridges.
A school needs only drop the boxes off at a UPS Service center or call UPS to have them come by and pick them up. Allsop found that most of the laser cartridges their school collected came in the boxes for the replacement cartridges the people had installed. We stuffed newspapers around the ones that didn't have original packing or seemed a bit loose. Word about the program is starting to get out.
