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!
