What can I do with empty ink jet cartridges? -

I have several Epson and HP printer cartridges that are just taking up space in my desk. I don t want to refill them. I buy new when my printer is low on ink. Any ideas?

Check with organizations around like churches, community theaters, etc. Many of them collect empties and quot;recyclequot; them for $2-3 each. My church s children department raises a couple hundred dollars a month this way that is used to support children in an orphange school in Honduras. (A couple from our church runs the school). Do something good for someone - especially as it won t cost you anything.

Go to the post office, they have prepaid envelopes to send the cartridges in for recycling. Take them to Staples, you will get a credit towards your next ink purchase.

Get some super glue and you can make some interesting things. Wall, robot, desk

Take them to any office supply store to recycle them. or if someone is collecting used ink cartridges to recycle them give them to the person.

You can recycle them. In fact, some stores give you a couple bucks off your new ones when you bring in your empties. Check with your local Staples or a store like that.

I know HP takes them back for recycling. Epson probably does, too. Suggest you look at their websites for instructions on returning them. Or.......you might try taking them to a store like OfficeMax to see if they have a recycling program.

take them to staples and you will get some$ on your new one
