How to Recycle laser toners & ink cartridges
There are several ways that you can recycle laser toners or inkjet cartridges however some recycling companies will only allow you to send empty printer cartridges from a pre-approved list that doesn’t include some of the older original cartridges or any empty compatible / remanufactured cartridges.
Whilst this prevents you from doing your part as a socially responsible person or organisation, it’s generally down to the cost / legal implications, and the process required to dispose of cartridges that can’t be reused or recycled.
