After we have collected enough, the company Terracycle turn the items into something else - recycling items that are not normally renewable. The charity then receives donations for your rubbish!

Donate your print cartridges
You can now recycle your ink cartridges with the National Shrine of Saint Jude via The Recycling Factory. The Recycling Factory collect and recycle over 8 million inkjet & toner cartridges each year and whether you’ve got one, or hundreds of cartridges, we can help you to recycle them. Each ink cartridge that they receive, the Carmelites and the National Shrine of Saint Jude will receive a donation. Please send to: Carmelite Friars, PO Box 289, FAVERSHAM, Kent, ME13 3BZ

Donate your old stamps
Simply tear a used stamp from the envelope (being careful not to tear the actual stamp) and send to us at the Shrine Office: Carmelite Friars, PO Box 289, FAVERSHAM, Kent, ME13 3BZ. You can also donate your stamp albums, old stamp collections, and first day covers/presentation packs. 

Donate your old coins

We are also happy to receive any other foreign coinage or notes you may have. 

 

If you have any of these, please simply send your coins/notes to Carmelite Friars, PO Box 289, FAVERSHAM, Kent, ME13 3BZ. Please make sure you have the correct postage on anything you send us. Or, alternatively, you can bring your old coins and notes to the Shrine. All those who send us some old coins/notes will receive a complimentary prayer card as a thank you, so please make sure you send it with your address.

 

When we convert the currency, the money will be used for the work of the Shrine and the Carmelites in Britain and abroad.
