Funding Factory added that it “helps organisations connect with communities, fund goals and help the environment”. BDR has organised collection containers at various sites around Green County and the containers have a list of cartridges that qualify for recycling, more locations will be added as time goes on.
Matt Miller, a member of BDR, said: “We want to raise funds to put to use in improving the quality of life and lessening the burden of government to revitalise downtown Bloomfield as a destination for all to live, work and visit.”
