Did you know?

Only 15% of the 65 million printer cartridges that are sold in the UK each year are recycled.  Which is a pity as there are a wide range of charities and businesses that will accept ink cartridges from you as they can make money from them.

Reduce

When buying your printer, choose one that uses cartridges that can be easily refilled or that can easily accept generic or refilled cartridges.

Reuse

Give them to an organisation or charity so that they can sell them and make money. Or you can refill them and use them again yourself. Buy refilled cartridges whenever possible. They are cheaper than new ones, and prevent waste.

  • Clover Environmental Solutions provide collection programmes for used laser toner cartridges, inkjet cartridges, mobile phones and small electronic devices.  Find out more on their website.

Recycle

You can recycle them at the Smugglers Way Household Waste and Recycling Centre.
