Help us raise funds while saving the environment!
We all have used phones, ink cartridges and small electronics that we need to get rid of. Why not recycle them for a good cause.
ASA has signed up with Planet Green fundraiser program which allows supporters to recycle their used phone, ink cartridges and small electronics and raise money for ASA. There are three options to deliver your used electronics to us:
- Drop them off at:

Santa Barbara, CA 93111
(This is a residential address – go ahead and leave your donations on the porch)
- Request a pre-paid label from ASA and mailed it directly to Planet Green
- Mail it to ASA:

It takes about three ounces of oil to make a new inkjet cartridge. Recycling helps lower this considerably.
In North America, more than 40,000 tons of plastic and metal are saved from landfills annually as a result of cartridge recycling. For every 100,000 used cartridges recycled, we can save 9599 kilograms of aluminum, 40 tons of plastic, and 1,000,000 liters of oil.
It is estimated that cell phones are discarded after 18 months of use. Cell phones contain many toxic substances that pose a major threat to public and environmental health.
