Cents of Relief has partnered with US Laser Inc. and G7 Productivity Systems Environmental Program in a Inkjet and Toner Cartridge collection drive. Every second 9 cartridges are discarded. In an effort to help our environment as well as raise funds for the education of the children of women in prostitution, Cents of Relief has implemented the "Inking out AIDS" program which collects used toner and ink cartridge. US Laser Inc. and G7 Productivity Systems give money to Cents of Relief (up to 5 dollars per catrdige) for collecting based upon how many are given back to recycle.

If your business, school or organization would like to give used inkjet or toner cartridges Cents of Relief will take care of the shipping of these cartridges for recycling. Not only will your organization be helping the environment, but it will be helping children and women sold into the sex trade in India. With your help we can combat trafficking and AIDS by simply helping our environment. If you would like us to mail you a prepaid envelope to mail your cartridge in or more information on how to continually donate and be an "Inking out AIDS" partner email us at programs@centsofrelief.org.
