Fayette County residents might make some new friends while dropping off their recycling.
Recently, a group of âInksnorksâ traveled all the way from Morgantown, West Virginia, to join the countyâs recycling program. Known as âSnorks,â the colorful creatures are actually inkjet cartridge recycling stations.
Created by Michael and Joanna Fraley, founders of Fraley Publishing Co., Inc.; the Snorks serve as mascots for the reuse and recycle program, and citizens are encouraged to âfeedâ them ink cartridges when dropping off other recyclables at one of the countyâs new haul-all bins.
While some cartridges are able to be refilled and reused, others are sent back to their original manufacturers for recycling, effectively keeping all inkjet cartridges out of area landfills.
