Don’t Throw That Old Ink Cartridge Away!
With the recent green frenzy, more and more people are looking to recycle their used carboard, glass, plastic and aluminum. Empty ink cartridges are the newest item to be added to that group. Not only can you recyle, at the store or online, but you often will receive reimbursement for your time and green-sensitivity in the form of cash or store credit. Here’s how to do it:

Next, you must locate some firm or location operating an ink cartridge donation or replacement program. You can probably locate a place on the internet or just go somewhere close down the street. They vary in value depending on where you go and what you have, but generally you can expect up to $4 for an ink cartridge and $7 for a toner cartridge.Some people will want to box them and ship them together to save on handling fees. This is an excellent option for office managers at a large company or conglomerate. Some people will only have one ink cartridge, and therefore need to get it refilled or replaced immediately.
Some office superstores can refill it for you and sell it back at a significantly reduced rate from that a new cartridge. Remember, since the cartridge must be opened up to be refilled, the risk of an error of some kind of cartridge failure goes up. Refilled cartridges also sometimes void the warranty on certain models of printers-somethign you should check before you decide to use a re-fill.
Finally, those recycled cartridges need to be replaced. If you alreday have a refill, you can move right on into replacing it. 4inkjets.com is a good option if you want to buy a brand new cartridge altogether. They generally have reasonable prices for cheap ink cartridges.
That’s how easy recycling your used ink cartridges can be! This gives you the ability to maximize efficiency, cut costs, and watch out for the environment at the same time!
