How to Recycle Laser Perfect Cartridges

Old printer cartridges can be recycled.

Recycling print cartridges has become very simple in the past several years, with many companies participate in greening efforts. Since print cartridges that are sold in many stores and by many companies are remanufactured (old print cartridges used over again), it has become very simple to find a place to recycle them, and laser perfect cartridges are no exception. Recycling print cartridges is not only simple but profitable. Some companies or stores will pay you or give you a discount on your next cartridge purchase if you recycle your old cartridges with them.

Instructions

1. Gather up your old laser perfect cartridges, and decide whether you would like to be paid for them or get a discount on your next cartridge purchase.

2. Sell your laser perfect cartridges for profit by finding a company that uses a buy-back method. Some companies that participate in this are PCR: Print Cartridge Recycle, FreeRecycling.com and TonerBuyer.com. Some companies will buy back ink cartridges for up to several dollars.

3. Exchange your old laser perfect cartridges for credit toward a new purchase by finding a participating company or office supplies store. Bring your laser perfect cartridges with you when you next purchase ink cartridges, and exchange them for a discount on your purchase. HP and Staples are two companies that participate in this greening effort, giving up to $2 per cartridge recycled.
