My company has a lot of empty old laser ink toners, where can we bring them to get recycled? I know that Encrop Pacific recycles old computer equipments but not ink toners.

Thanks in advance.

My work uses an exchange program with who we buy ours from (Staples) I should be able to return them to any recycling depot and maybe the company you buy your cartridges from.

I think Staples and Office Depot have recycling programs...but they might have a limit on how many you can recycle each time.

Staples. Maybe call them up and ask if there is a limit. You don't want to bring them all there and then realize they only accept a certain amount.

Staples (http://www.staples.com/sbd/cre/products/3dollar_inkrecycle/) like everyone has mentioned. You even get $2 credit for it. (limit 10 per month)

Staples has a goal to recycle 2 million cartridges this year, so they'd welcome as many as you've got.

Staples Canada does not give back money for your toners/ink nor is there a limit. The money back thing IS for Staples US.

However, if you're ever looking for a printer in the future, Staples Canada does offer promotional things from time to time (it's been a while so it should be coming up again soon) where you get $50 off a new printer (brand selection varies. includes printers already on sale) and that new printer could be worth $200+ and you'd get it for like $50 bucks after trade-ins and sale.

Last time we had a promo the same dude bought 5 of the same $229 printer for $70 bucks and told us he was straight re-selling them on craigslist for $200. =.="
