The
Candlelighters of Southern Nevada
and the America's Schools Program have teamed up to help preserve the environment and help fund educational programs by recycling printer cartridges and cell phones in your local community. Fifty cents (50%) on every dollars generated by your organization will stay with your organization. An additional twenty eight cents (28%) from that same dollar will go back into your local K-12 public school community. The other 22 cents(22%) goes to run and administrate the program at zero cost to all who actively participate in this now nationwide branded recycling program effort.
This program is in cooperation with the Nevada State School Boards Association..
