I.T.P.’s empty cartridge collection scheme in aid of NARA’s Breathing Monitor Appeal

I.T.P. is proud to be associated with The National Association for the Relief of Apnoea's Breathing Monitor Appeal.

The NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE RELIEF OF APNOEA (NARA) is an umbrella title for appeals, campaigns and initiatives relating to the cessation of breathing (or Apnoea). The first of these, the "Help Prevent a Cot Death Appeal", was founded in 1984 to provide respiration monitors to parents whose babies were considered "at-risk" of Cot Death.

With your help, by donating your empty toner and inkjet cartridges, we can help provide more of these monitors to those babies considered "at-risk". We are not suggesting that a monitor will guarantee the life of a baby, but it may be the only device available to give an alarm when help is needed.

Every year, some 500,000,000 used toner and inkjet cartridges are sent to landfill. I.T.P. have for almost a decade been Europe’s no.1 collector of these empty cartridges, saving millions from ending up in landfill.

As a registered waste carrier and with a committed environmental policy, I.T.P., in conjunction with the National Association for the Relief of Apnoea, offer a toner cartridge collection scheme that has no negatives!

I.T.P will collect your used toner and inkjet cartridges for free providing there is a minimum of 10 cartridges and make a donation to the National Association for the Relief of Apnoea's Breathing Monitor Appeal for these cartridges – simple!

In 2001, I.T.P paid over £100,000 to charitable causes for empty toner and inkjet cartridges. You too can be part of this success and help not only those in need of this invaluable equipment but also the environment.

So how does it work?

1. You can register onto the scheme by filling out the registration form online. Alternatively you can print out this introduction and a registration form or have it emailed to you..
2. Once your completed registration form has been received you will be emailed or faxed back a unique collection reference code. Please keep this in a safe place, as you will be asked for this collection reference code every time that you contact I.T.P. You will also be sent by post an information poster and a reference card confirming your details. You can print additional personalised information posters from this site.
3. When you have 10 or more empty cartridges ready for collection, contact the empty cartridges collection department quoting your collection reference code and the number of cartridges you have and they will be collected from you for free of charge within a few days. You can contact the collections department by telephone on the collections hotline 0845 100 0004 (local rate call), fax 0118 943 9001, email nara@itp-group.com or online at http://www.itp-empties.com/collect.html.
4. Once your cartridges have been collected you will be sent a certificate confirming your donation.

Please note I.T.P. collect either using their own drivers or a courier. It is helpful if you can keep the cartridges in their original boxes where possible so as to ensure they do not get damaged in transit. If you have any special requirements please note them on your registration form.
