Go Green with Cape May Zoo: Recycle Your Ink Cartridges Today!

Keep it clean and go green for the animals at the Cape May Zoo. When the animals at the zoo say "jump," we ask "how high?" So, when they ask for donations, you already know we've got them covered.

Don't go reaching for your wallet, although if you'd like to bestow a monetary gift, that's always amazing. This time, however, all they're asking is that you bring over your used ink cartridges. Yes, the ones from your printer.

Ink cartridges contain materials such as plastic, metal, and ink residue. When they are disposed of in landfills, these materials can take hundreds of years to decompose and may release harmful chemicals into the environment. Recycling cartridges reduces the amount of waste sent to landfills, conserves resources, and minimizes pollution.

Producing new ink cartridges requires a significant amount of energy. By recycling cartridges and reusing their materials, we can reduce the energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions associated with manufacturing new products.
