Information Depot: Recycle Ink Cartridges: Get Cash, Rewards & Help Our Environment

Did you know that you can recycle ink cartridges and earn cash, rewards and help our environment at the same time? Statistics show that 1 million used ink cartridges are thrown away every day. These used ink cartridges end up in the landfills. It takes a thousand years for the plastic components of an ink cartridge to break down.

That's an unnecessary toil on the environment. Used ink cartridges can be recycled and refilled. In fact many companies are doing just that. They will give you cash or reward credits for future purchases in their stores for your used ink cartridges. If you're throwing your used ink cartridges away, you're throwing money away.

Several major office supply stores like Office Depot, Office Max, and Staples have ink recycling programs. If you recycle your ink cartridges with them they will give you what equates to a store gift card. Also, there are many online websites which offer cash back for your used ink cartridges. The terms and conditions of the ink recycling programs of these different companies differ. It's a good idea to find and understand the terms and conditions of the ink recycling program you join before turning in your used ink cartridges. In some instances you can not get back ink cartridges you've already turned in and not receive any rewards if all terms are not met.

Choose the best recycling program for your needs, then recycle ink cartridges and earn cash or rewards.
