Recycle your ink cartridges and cell phones at Tobias!
Thanks to Mr. Sayre, this recycling program is starting up again. There are two boxes by the front office where you can drop off your cartridges and phones for recycling. The best part? For each full box we send in, Tobias will get $25 in gift cards to Office Depot. Great for the environment and great for Tobias!
