The items that are accepted for recycling (“Products”) are set forth on the www.MySchoolRecycles.com

and without prior notice to You, the list of Products accepted for recycling and/or
the monetary values assigned to the Products.
Do not send any item for recycling other than the qualifying Products listed on
www.MySchoolRecycles.com. The Program Sponsors will not issue credits for non-qualifying
Products and will not return any Products or other items shipped in the collection
boxes. The Program Sponsors reserve the right, in their sole discretion, to decline
to issue credits for any Products that are visibly damaged or that otherwise do
not comply with the guidelines for Products as published on www.MySchoolRecycles.com,
as updated from time to time.
You represent and warrant that the Products You send in for recycling are free of

all claims or losses sustained by the Program Sponsors as a result of any breach
of this warranty. Any Product found to be fraudulently obtained may be turned over
to the appropriate federal, state, or local law enforcement authority without further
compensation or notification to You.
Product Valuation, Processing, & Receipt of Reward
Credits will be awarded to You by the Program Sponsors and credited to your account
based upon the values established by the Program Sponsors for the Products. Values
are established by the Program Sponsors and are published on www.MySchoolRecycles.com.
The amount that will be credited to your account is the published value for your
Product(s) in effect at the time your Product(s) are processed by the Program Sponsors,
not the price published at the time You sent the box to the Program Sponsors.
Credits will issued by the 15th of each month in the form of an Office Depot gift
card when the value of the credits in your account reaches twenty-five dollars ($25.00).
Office Depot gift cards issued pursuant to the Program are not for resale or auction.
They do not constitute property, do not entitle You or your School to a vested right
or interest and have no cash value. Office Depot gift cards issued pursuant to this
Program are not redeemable for cash, transferable or assignable for any reason.
Office Depot gift cards shipped pursuant to this Program that are returned as undeliverable
will be forfeited. The issuance of Office Depot gift cards pursuant to this Program

Office Depot gift cards will not be reissued. You and/or your School are responsible
for taxes, charges or other liabilities related to or resulting from participation
in the Program.
Recycling accounts will remain active as long as the Program Sponsors receive not
less than one (1) qualifying Product from you in the latest 12-month period. If
you do not send at least one qualifying Product to Office Depot within any 12-month
period, the Program Sponsors have the right to classify your account as inactive
and to deactivate or eliminate the balance of credits in your account.
