If you\u2019ve ever had to replace a spent ink or toner cartridge, you\u2019ll be familiar with the dilemma that so many people run into. What to do with your empty ink and toner cartridges? The more earth conscious among us will be sure that there has to be a better way than letting these depleted cartridges go to landfill. The good news is that they\u2019re right!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ink and toner cartridges are strong candidates for recycling when treated correctly, and this article is going to show you what that looks like. Take a look below for what we at TonerCity recommend you do with those used ink and toner cartridges.<\/span><\/p>\n

For home printing<\/b><\/h2>\n

The easiest way to get the best result for the earth is to let the professionals handle your recycling. When it comes to printer ink and toner, that means finding somewhere that you can drop off your empty cartridges and letting them do the rest.<\/span><\/p>\n

Depending on where you live, you\u2019ll likely have a couple options on this front. Most office supplies stores will have a recycling process in place. Every Officeworks store, some participating Australia Post stores and plenty more will gladly take your empty cartridges at no cost to you.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can cut out some of the hassle of finding the nearest recycling point to you by checking here with <\/span>Planet Ark<\/span><\/a>. There you\u2019ll find all of your closest collection points for cartridge recycling, and tips on how to go about other sorts of recycling as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

For businesses<\/b><\/h2>\n

For larger scale operations, where you expect to be handling a larger quantity of empty cartridges, it might be worth enlisting a service like the Planet Ark collection box or developing an arrangement with your local printing supplier.<\/span><\/p>\n

This way, you\u2019re cutting out the time and effort that might go into delivering your used cartridges to a recycling point or participating business. A task that might become time-consuming if it becomes a weekly trip for you or someone at the office.<\/span><\/p>\n

Plan ahead<\/b><\/h2>\n

At TonerCity, we sell ink and toner printing cartridges from all the leading brands. Many of these printing supply manufacturers have developed larger capacity or high yield cartridges for their smaller home printing solutions.<\/span><\/p>\n

For those printing at home, it may only be a handful of times that you find yourself having to replace your ink or toner cartridges. But a great way to further reduce the need to worry about recycling your depleted cartridges is to make the switch to a higher capacity cartridge.<\/span><\/p>\n

A higher capacity cartridge means more pages and more time between replacements. It also means making fewer trips to the recycling point without hurting mother earth! Take a look here online with us for the XL cartridges that\u2019ll see you doing better for yourself and the environment in one fell swoop.<\/span><\/p>\n
