We have pledged to raise 10k for the Blue Cross by returning & recycling your empty printer cartridges in 2011/2012

How to get involved?

Call or send our team an email to say you have used, empty or unwanted printer cartridges ready for collection. All we need to know is the number of cartridges you have ready for collection.

If our drivers are regularly delivering goods to you we can collect on delivery to save space in your office. We can also provide a free collection bin which can store your empty cartridges and on collection of a full box provide a replacement bin. This is a free service to you and will raise valuable funds by returning your used units for recycling.

At Aston & James we see this as not only an opportunity to be green but to also raise funds for the amazing work that the Blue Cross do locally at their Burford Headquarters and other sites throughout the UK.

The Blue Cross has been caring for needy animals since 1897. It's one of the UK's leading pet charities and today it helps them in lots of different ways. Its network of adoption centres and pet fosterers take in unwanted animals, from hamsters to horses, and finds them loving new homes and its hospitals and welfare clinics treat pets whose owners can't afford private vet fees. The charity also offers free advice to help promote responsible pet ownership.

The Blue Cross doesn't receive any government funding so it relies on donations from the public to pay for its work. You can find out more about The Blue Cross and the animals it helps at: www.bluecross.org.uk.

Little Pippa was only a few days old when she was found abandoned at a farm with her two brothers. Without their mum to care for them, the kittens were in a bad way.

Sadly Pippa's siblings were too weak to survive. One died only a few hours after arriving at The Blue Cross and the other died shortly after, leaving Pippa fighting for her life. The next few days were crucial for Pippa and staff at the charity's Lewknor adoption centre took it in turns to take her home and care for her during the night.

Pippa is a true fighter and, along with the love and care she received, she grew stronger every day. She blossomed into a happy, playful and confident kitten who was adored by everyone. She was soon playing with a litter of kittens that were born at the centre. Pippa held a special place in everyone's heart and the staff were delighted when she was adopted.
