    PRINTER CARTRIDGES

    Printer cartridges

    Where can I recycle? ยป

    Increasingly these are being collected at local recycling centres but are not generally collected from kerbside. However, there are other organisations that will recycle them for you.

    How should I re-use printer cartridges?

    Get them refilled!

    • Why not take your empty cartridges to be refilled? You can save up to 60% on the price of a new cartridge!

    Refill them yourself!

    • Refilling ink jet cartridges is straightforward and can be done on a DIY basis, with a number of companies supplying the ink and refilling equipment;
    • When buying your printer, choose one that uses cartridges that can be easily refilled or that can easily accept generic or refilled cartridges.

    What else can I do with them?

    • Donate them! Lots of charities collect empty printer cartridges to raise money by refilling and reselling them;
    • Take a look at the internet to find charities in your area that are collecting printer cartridges.
