Prairie INK Recycling Program
Edmonton’s Food Bank is no longer able to accept inkjet and laser printer cartridges as part of our fundraising initiatives. Unfortunately, the program cannot be continued due to financial and other resource limitations; however, we hope that you will continue to dispose of these items in an environmentally-friendly means.
