    How or Can I recycle used remanufactured inkjet cartridges?

    Used to give my cartridges to the local SPCA for their recycling program. But they ended the program at the first of the year, saying that mailing costs were outstripping proceeds. Too bad -- I liked helping them, even took in other people's cartridges so I could pass them on to the SPCA.

    HP crushes all of their used cartridges sent back to them and sends the materials to smelting or disposal. Refilling easily trumps smashing in environmental and energy use. Refiller quality varies widely, so find a refiller that will stand behind their warranty.

    The information in the article above is so out of date as to be useless.

    There are plenty of commercially available ink refill kits on the market, everything from "accordion" type fillers that you use until empty and then throw out. Bottled ink (buy ink in bulk) with syringe kits you can use over and over (and they usually include tool kits, finger-drills, and plugs/tape to cover the hole), all the way to "ink stations" with ink chambers and needles all built in that gravity fill your cartridge. Pick the one that best suits you. I've refilled some cartridges for a year but eventually even the best cartridge will finally go bad. Paper towels and tissues and a large piece of cardboard for a table cover are a must as is a bottle of isopropyl alcohol for clean-ups.
