WORCESTERSHIRE companies and members of the public are being asked to save their used laser and inkjet cartridges to help the blind.

The Royal National Institute for the Blind has said they are of a lot of use to the organisation.

"We will provide a free cartridge saver bin and free delivery and pick up," said Gareth Edwards, national fund-raising development manager for the organisation.

The RNIB Recycling Hotline can be contacted on 0800 781 2400 or email Mr Edwards on gedwards@rnib.org.uk

Home users can support the scheme by using FREEPOST bags, suitable for small quantities of inkjet cartridges.
