Ink jet and toner cartridges

Consider whether all staff need a personal printer and whether a networked printer is suitable instead, so cutting down on cartridge and toner use.

Ink jet and toner cartridges may have a relatively high value. Some contractors will pay up to £2 or £3 per unit depending on the specific type of cartridge.

The purchasing agreement with your cartridge supplier may require return of the empties as part of the deal.

Some companies provide a post-paid envelope for return of the cartridge and a credit slip that can be used to help offset future purchases by the institution.

There are an increasing number of cartridges which can be refilled by the user, thus extending their life by about five times.

Waste Online provides information on recycling cartridges in general as well as addresses and contacts for a range of charities and other organisations providing a toner recycling service.

Supplies Team provide their own brand of recycled ink and toner cartridges
