Are we Doing this for Profit ?

Greg and I were thinking of setting up a collection scheme for ink jets in order to profit from it. We've not done so because we couldn't work out how to get the word out. There will be the obvious suspicion that we are going to try and make money out of this.
No.
We are not doing this for profit.
We are offering to put in out time and knowledge for nothing. As volunteers. We're also adding the overheads and infrastructure to make it work. The sites where we can sort and repack ink jets, these we already own and will not charge for.
There are two things we will charge for, to be taken from funds raised.
1) Direct costs. Boring things like cardboard boxes, masking tape ( I think you Americans call it duct tape ), blah blah. Trivia. There is also a possibly larger cost. If this becomes successful we are going to have to hire some high school kids to do the actual grunt work of sorting through the pieces. And we would have to pay them wages. These would come out of funds raised. Yes, it would be nice not to have to do that but I'm afraid we are not rich enough to carry that cost ourselves.
2) After we've done this for 90 days we may want to extend it. If it's something that chunters along in the background then great, we will. If , however, it is very successful then we will need to rethink. It might be necessary to hire professional staff to keep the system running properly, and they will of course want to get paid.
Whether we could do that, and how much we could do that with is something which would be decided by the "Ruling Council". Of which more in another post.
