Recycle write away!

Start the school year off right: sign up and encourage your pupils and staff to collect as many of their used writing instruments as possible and send them to us to be recycled. You have until 25th November to take part and be in with a chance of winning £1,000! 

How to participate

The more pens, felt tips, highlighters, markers, correction fluid pots, correction tapes, mechanical pencils, and eraser pens you send in, the greater your positive environmental impact and the higher your chances of winning funds for your school, or the charity of your choice.
