Students and staff of Boothbay Region Elementary School have been earning free technology/recreational equipment or cash by participating in the FundingFactory Recycling Program.

They collect empty cartridges, cell phones, small electronics and laptops from the community and send the waste products to FundingFactory in exchange for their choice of technology and recreation products, or even cash.

Companies interested in demonstrating a commitment to education and the environment can participate free of charge in the FundingFactory Business Support Program. FundingFactory will send each supporting business free prepaid shipping labels for the return of collected cartridges, cell phones, small electronics and laptops.

By donating to BRES, businesses help them earn the technology and or recreational equipment they need.

Community and business supporters can also drop off cartridges, cell phones, small electronics and laptops at the following locations: BRES computer lab or BRES school office.
