8 Items to Avoid Though Orro is an eco- friendly service that is committed to improving the environment, we are first and foremost a fundraising entity. The truth is that there are some items that do not hold any value and cannot be refurbished. These items will detract from your goal, as we have to pay to have them recycled. *Please see the next page for additional resources for hard to recycle items. 8

Contact information is listed below. **Please keep in mind that the return on your fundraiser is contingent on the make, model, condition, and resale value of each item. Some items will have very little return, while others may yield extremely well. Our goal is to help you reach yours. The more material you bring in that is high value, the more successful your drive will be! All items collected will be responsibly recycled, even if they hold no value.
