The growth of computer usage in the past decades has created a constant need for toner and ink to feed printers and copiers. Each year over 400 million cartridges are discarded into our nation's landfills. Fortunately, these cartridges are one of the most convenient office products to recycle. Used cartridges are returned to the original manufacturer or a recycling partner where they are disassembled, cleaned, and refilled. Some parts are reconditioned, and others are ground up and used in making other products. Recycling in this manner helps to reduce or eliminate the pollution associated with the first two stages of a product's development - material extraction and processing.

  Last year alone, the cartridge recycling industry prevented 60,000 tons of solid waste from entering landfills. While this process benefits the environment, it also benefits the consumer. Reconditioned cartridges are always "like-new", and in some ways they are superior. They meet demanding performance requirements, yet cost a mere fraction of what the original products sell for.

  To help keep these valuable resources out of landfills, we've put together a program that makes it even easier to recycle your old printer cartridges. Simply let us know when you have one, and our driver will pick it up and stamp your recycling card. When you have returned 35 cartridges, you will receive a $35 dollar credit on your account. Recycling isn't just environmentally responsible, it's a wise business choice!
