Recycling Toner and Ink Cartridges, and Receive Cash

Already have a pile of empty cartridges stack in your garage or hiding at the corner of your working desk? I bet the first thing will come to your mind is to get rid of them by throwing them at the nearest waste box you can possibly find but wait! You may not know these but you can earn some money with those empty cartridges.

"But how can you earn money with these used printer cartridges?" you may ask?

This is possible through the Recycling Program offered by third-party manufacturers and even OEM manufacturers. TonerGreen.com, an environment-conscious printer supplies retailer, has a recycling program which allows printer users to take their used or empty toner and ink cartridges to them to be recycled and help in conserving the use of our natural resources. The best part is in exchange for your empty printer cartridges, TonerGreen will give you points, credits or money. TonerGreen issue credit or checks for OEM laser toner cartridges and ink cartridges, either newly-used OEM or remanufactured, excluding compatible after-market products. Recycled cartridges with a total value of $20 or more receive a check while a total value less than $20 is only eligible for store credit.

Through recycling your empty or used toner cartridges and ink cartridges, you are contributing in the conservation of important raw materials like oil. You can also help lessen the vast number of printer cartridges that end up in our landfills every year. According to a research, about 350 to 375 million empty cartridges are discarded per year in the U.S. and this figure increases at a rate of 12% per year. These cartridges go straight to our wastelands where it takes them about 1,000 years to decompose.

So what are you waiting for? Pack those empty cartridges in one bag and send them over the nearest printer supply store for recycling!
