While we know you’ve cut way back on printing unnecessarily, chances are you still need to print from time to time. What you might not know is that over 300 million ink cartridges are thrown away every year. Yikes! Help keep all that plastic out of landfills by recycling used cartridges. Recycling helps the environmtn by keeping cartirdges out of the trash and reducing the number of new cartridges that need to be manufactured. Before you decide that it’s easier to toss than to recycle, keep in mind that the store where you buy your replacement ink (such as Staples or Office Depot) probably recycles old cartridges for their customers. For busineses, most suppliers will provide postage-paid mailers for returning used cartridges for recycling at zero cost to you. Try typing “ink cartridge recycling” into a web browser and see how many options pop up. Dead ink can even earn you (or a charity) money. How sexy is that?
