How to Recycle LaserJet Cartridges
Recycling ink and toner cartridges is not as simple as throwing it in curbside recycling bins. Some retail stores such as Staples and Office Depot collect ink and toner cartridges for recycling. There are also some services that allow consumers to mail their cartridges in, although there are often limitations on the brands of cartridges they will accept. To recycle HP LaserJet cartridges, it is also convenient to mail it back to HP directly by using their prepaid shipping labels.
