Is it your job to deal with your offices’ used ink cartridges? Are you unsure what to do with this seemingly useless waste product? Do you want to be environmentally friendly while saving money as well? If so, read on to learn what to do with used ink cartridges!
The main thing to remember is Never Throw Them Away. Ever. There is always a better option than putting them in a landfill. Doing so hurts the environment, but just as importantly, it will hurt your bottom line too. There are ways to make money with used ink cartridges.
Just spend a bit of time researching various ink cartridge recycling solutions and you will be rewarding later. Many stores offer incentive programs. For example, Staples will give store credit in return for ink cartridges of any brand. Other large retail stores and smaller office supply stores have similar programs. It pays to invest some effort into finding the best program in your area.
Of course, if the potential store credit is not important to you, there is another more charitable option. Many schools have ink cartridge collections to help pay for supplies for their students. If you donate your cartridges to schools, you will essentially be paying for new books, paper and other much needed essentials!
