what to do with used printer cartridges??

I have recently noticed that boots are offering 100 advantage card points for used cartridges, but only certain ones.

we go through a few at work and used to throw them away, so i asked if i could recycle them. turns out that only 1 in five of the ones i collected, is accepted by boots.

can anyone suggest what i could do with the other ones?? (preferably earning myself something).

Any suggestions welcome :D

    Also Tescos give 100 CC points per cartridge - think they accept most ones. You need to get special envelopes from the store and send them off.

    Another option would be to refill them, either yourself or a place like CartridgeWorld would be able to do it?
