THE first set of trees has been planted at a country park as part of a nationwide initiative.
Steve Dunn, from the Cartridge World store in Northallerton High Street, spent a day planting seeds and saplings at Wynyard Woodland Park, Stockton.
The company is involved in a series of plantings this year as part of its Plant a Tree, Not a Cartridge scheme.
It aims to plant 6,000 trees at 28 managed woodlands to reward customers who have their printer cartridges refilled. Several hundred trees will be planted at Wynyard.
Mr Dunn said: "Our campaign has really taken root and, in just six months. We have already saved a staggering two million cartridges from landfill sites, which is a fantastic achievement.
"It was great to plant the first set of trees in Wynyard Woodland and we hope that our customers will continue to help us hit our target of planting 6,000 trees over the next year."
