What do I do with old ink and toner cartridges?

The place I work at has boxes of ink and toner cartridges we%26#039;ve accumulated over the years. Some of them are those really big ones that go in copiers (like a foot and a half long). What can we do with them to get rid of them? Some ink we%26#039;ve used had a return lable you slap on the box when you are done and a UPS driver will pick it up, but I%26#039;ve never paid attention to where it goes. If I can%26#039;t find a way to recycle them for free is it okay to throw them out? Thanks!|||for the big ones, contact your supplier and ask what you can do with them





the small ones like you would have at home....there%26#039;s lots of places that have a drop box for those; churches, schools....you could contact that supplier too.....better yet, they are refillable at Walgreens, cheaper and work just as well....I would think Walgreens would also let you just donate them if you don%26#039;t want them refilled|||The cartridge itself is very expensive (even without the toner). Your supplier should have a recycling program that you can send the empty cartridges to and possibly get a discount on future orders. Some local office supply stores might also have recycling programs that you can drop them off at.|||You could make money? in the sense that office stores like STAPLES, OFFICE DEPOT and OFFICE MAX will give you $3 off coupon for each INKJET/TONER cartridge. A word of caution if you decide this is something worth pursuing is that some customer service counters will put a date stamp on these $3 off certificate(s) and if that%26#039;s the case, then you need to bring in so many at a time...
