Recycling Remanfactured Printer Toners - how?

Options
Hello,

I use remanufactured (if that is the correct term) toners for my laser printer. They work out cheaper and as good as the branded names but I don't know what to do with the empty cartridge. Are there companies that will take the reman. cartridge and refill it for me? Or will they take it back and resell it again?

I don't want to be throwing it away if it can be reused.

TIA

    Where do you buy your refilled cartridges from? They'll usually take the used ones back to refill. They did that at my local cartridge point. I can't see why others won't - after all it's a free cartridge for them to resell.

    There may be people who will pay for empty cartridges but as I've only bought one in about 4 years I've not been too bothered about investigating.

    Thanks for that - I bought them off an online seller but I shall get in contact with them and see what whether it can be refilled again.

    Its not how far you fall but how high you bounce back that matters

    Not sure that they accept rebranded toners, but worth a try seeing as it is a free post address.
    For rebranded inkjets - use Cash4Charity, I have the address if you are interested.

    Hope this is OK
