When buying a copy for your home, remember to buy extras for your office, car and spouse!

Shop at stores that reward TJ's PTSA

There are easy ways (that cost you nothing) to earn money for TJ. Some stores require you to pre-register and then scan your card each time you shop. At others, you need only mention the program and give the cashier TJ's code. Print out our flyer for a one-page summary or keep reading for details and links.

Recycle inkjet and laser cartridges

Save your empty inkjet and laser toner cartridges! We collect them and sell them to a recycling company. TJ earns $3 per cartridge. This is a year-round effort, so please keep them coming even during the summer.

Collect empty cartridges from your home, office, friends, and relatives. Put them in a plastic bag (to prevent leakage) and place them in the collection box in the main office. We'll do the rest.

Recycle cell phones

Bring us your old cell phones and we'll turn them into cash for TJ! Just put the phone in a plastic bag and place it in the collection box in the main office. A recycling company will pay from 50 cents to $30 per phone (depending on the make and model). The company pays for all phones, even damaged and outdated ones. Help the environment by helping TJ!

Every time you shop with a card registered with eScrip, you can earn money for TJ. All you need to do is register a card and use it when you shop in person or online at participating merchants. You can make your dollars go even further for TJ if you sign up and use an eScrip VISA card.
