Recycling
Raise funds for Hearing Dogs for Deaf People and help the environment… by saving empty printer cartridges, old mobile phones and used stamps.
We launched our recycling scheme with Reclaim-it in 2003 and since then you’ve helped us raise more than £73,000 – just by sending in your old printer cartridges and mobile phones. Your donations have helped support two hearing dogs, Indi and Dax, who have transformed the lives of their recipients.
Reclaim-it will provide free of charge individual recycling bags, desk top boxes complete with bags (ideal for reception desks) and larger ‘office’ boxes (which hold multiple cartridges). Reclaim-it will also arrange to pick up your recycling office box free of charge.
- A mobile phone plus battery (sim card removed) can raise up to £31 for Hearing Dogs
- Most used printer cartridges (not Epson) can raise between 10p and £3
If you would like further details about our recycling scheme please contact us by telephone: 01844 348 100 or email info@hearingdogs.org.uk
Stamps
Just by tearing the stamps off letters, parcels and postcards you receive, you can raise vital funds for Hearing Dogs. Please leave a 1cm border around the stamp and sort into British and Foreign in order for us to maximise the funds raised.
You can send your used stamps direct to our dealer, marked Hearing Dogs for Deaf People, at PO Box 6198, Leighton Buzzard, Beds LU7 9GW. The dealer doesn’t have the facilities to be able to acknowledge your gift, however, should you wish to be kept informed as to where the valuable funds raised are spent, please contact our reception on 01844 348 100 or email info@hearingdogs.org.uk and they will be happy to send a letter.
In 2012, used stamps raised a fantastic total of £7,900 for Hearing Dogs. Every stamp you collect plays a part in enabling us to help more deaf people so please keep the stamps coming and remember that no amount is too small!
Postcards
Our fundraisers in Scotland are raising funds from picture postcards as well as stamps. The card and stamp on it have to be left intact as the dealer has a special method of deleting address details and ensuring privacy. For further information, please contact our regional fundraiser in Scotland Margaret Arthur by email or on 0141 812 6542.
