THE Royal National Institute for the Blind is asking people not to throw away used cartridges from printers and fax machines.

The charity can provide a free cartridge saver bin with free delivery and pick-up.

Home users can support the scheme by using Freepost bags.

The charity earns funds from the saved cartridges, which can be re-filled and re-used.

For a collecting box call the hotline on freephone 0800-7812400 or E-mail gedwards@rnib.org.uk.
