How to Recycle OKI Data Toner

OKI Data Americas manufactures a wide range of printers, including color, impact and multifunction printer. Some printers and all-in-one machines use laser technology with toner to print documents and images. As toner and toner cartridges can harm the environment, OKI Data has designed a toner recycling program to reclaim low or spent toner cartridges for re-use and manufacturing of other products. All that the program requires to recycle OKI Data toner is the return of the low or spent cartridge through United Parcel Service (UPS) via prepaid shipping.

Things You'll Need

• Clear packing tape
• Plastic bags (optional)
• Vacuum (optional)

Instructions

Tips & Warnings

• If you have questions about recycling your OKI Data toner through OKI Data's Toner Recycling program, call OKI Data at 800-OKIDATA (654-3282).

• If you spill toner while packing the cartridge, vacuum it from dirtied surfaces.
