2009 5th
International Greyhound Planet Day Report
Do you have empty ink cartridges or old cell phones??!!
We will
recycle them for you.
The Greyhound Supporters (National
Capital Region) (www.gsncr.ca)
will gladly accept them. We then re-distribute them out to
Greyhound Adoption Groups, who work with local recycling companies
and obtain money in exchange for them. Funds received are applied to
offset vet expenses and help pay other bills they have incurred.
For more
information, please contact Tina Kelly at
