How to Recycle Toner Cartidges

    Recycling at the Retailer

    • 1). Call the retailer where you bought the toner and see if they offer a recycling program. Staples and OfficeMax, for example, offer toner recycling programs.

    • 2). If the program is available through your retailer, follow their instructions to return the cartridge and receive a new one.

    • 3). You may need to sign up for a rewards program or other store account to keep track of your recycling credits.

    Recycle with the Manufacturer

    • 1). If you bought directly from the manufacturer, or if your retailer does not offer recycling, check with the manufacturer for an online recycling program.

    • 2). Enter the information about what you are recycling and you will be directed to print a shipping label.

    • 3). Mail the used cartridge back in the box in which it came.

    Refilling Toner Cartridges

    • 1). If you are looking to save money, or if recycling is not an option, there are often local options for refilling toner cartridges.

    • 2). Find local ink retailers that specialize in refilling toner cartridges and follow their instructions to get your cartridges refilled.

    • 3). You may also choose to refill your own cartridges. You can buy kits online that allow you to reuse your existing cartridges, effectively recycling them.
