Ink Jet Cartridges
- Postage paid mailers are available for recycling used printer ink jet cartridges. I was able to get them from my local post office, but have not been able to confirm whether they are available in all post offices.
- You can also recycle ink jet cartridges and hold a fundraiser at the same time through EcoPhones. Cell phones and ink jet cartridges are collected and sent to EcoPhones for recycling. Each phone and ink jet cartridge can earn $1-200.

Magnets
There are many uses for the advertising magnets that many businesses give away.
- Glue a photo to a magnet and cut out the image to make a picture magnet.
- Glue a notepad or attach a sticky note pad to a magnet to hang on the fridge.
- Glue a piece of a magnet to a hinged wooden clothes pin to hold papers on the fridge. These can also be painted and/or decorated.
- Make a "baby sleeping" or other sign to hang on an exterior metal door — print text such as "Do not ring bell please, baby [or child] sleeping", then laminate and attach a piece of magnet with double sided tape.
