collapse Is there any risk associated with handling my used printer cartridges ?
Untitled Document
Printer cartridges are non-toxic and pose no health risk of any kind. But be aware, ink from Inkjet cartridges and loose toner from laser cartridges can leave messy stains on your clothing, furniture and carpeting. That's why we recommend that you place the cartridges in a plastic bag immediately upon receipt. That should keep any small amount of ink in the cartridge from leaking out. A word of caution: Try to avoid sorting your empty cartridges on carpeting or on upholstered furniture. Place old newspaper under your work surface when you are packing your boxes to avoid any spills, causing stains on furniture or fabric.

collapse Where will we find empty printer cartridges ?
Untitled Document
Fortunately, the answer is everywhere. There are 100 million printers, faxes and copiers in use today and Millions more being sold each year. And each of these printers uses 5-25 cartridges each year. So you do the math. There are millions and millions of empty printer cartridges being used each year - and most of them are now ending up in landfills.

Today, nearly 50% of all homes have a home computer. That means they also have one or more printers. And nearly every kind of business and organization you can think of uses printers, faxes, and copiers. That's why we say empty cartridges are just everywhere.

collapse How do we store cartridges as they are collected ?
Untitled Document
The best way to store empty Inkjets is in a zip lock type bag or any plastic bag. If you have a large bag, you can fill it with inkjets. Toner cartridges should be saved in the original packaging and box, besides protecting it from damage, the box serves as a shipping container and will get recycled as well. It's very important not to store any cartridges in direct sunlight, outdoors, or in a shed where temperatures can get very hot in the summer time. This will cause damage to the cartridges and we won't be able to reuse them again.

collapse Why do you want to pay for these cartridges ?
Untitled Document
Many people don't realize that most printer cartridges - inkjet and laser toner cartridges - can be recycled. We use the empty cartridges we buy from you to remanufacture and sell as low-cost "Remanufactured Cartridges." This provides an opportunity for inkjet and laser cartridge buyers to save as much as 40% off the price of new OEM cartridges. While it's great that individuals and organizations can save money by using "remanufactured cartridges," there is another important reason why this program works for everyone. Recycling the empty cartridges you collect helps to keep them out of our landfills and provides local jobs. So not only is this program good for your school or organization - it's good for the environment and the economy too.
