does anyone know where I can recycle epson ink certridges? for cash? points?

I used to have a HP printer and sent my ink cartridges off to charity with the packet that came with them. I am now getting into the whole tesco points scheme (used to be purely morrisons).

Now have a epson as my HP broke. The tesco site does not give points for recycling epson ink cartridges.

does anyone know where I can recycle epson ink certridges?

It looks like I will be using about 30 ish of the epson ones a year?

  • The main problem I have found is that because the cartridges are chipped they are unsuitable to be recycled as other makes are.
    I have had to throw mine away because I can't find anyone wanting them.
  • Inkcycle.co.uk take any type (Originals only) and you can exchange them for Inkcycle Reward Points which can be redeemed against future purchases or converted into cash.
  • I have just found that Epson are now recycling their cartridges via their website and will (apparently) send you envelopes to post them back in. I eagerly await my first shipment!

    Here 'tis!

    Although they don't seem to pay you (or your charity) anything for them :(

    Hello.

    Epson are the hardest ones to find an avenue for although we are trying to find a supplier/avenue where we can accept more models of these, we do take the odd types of Epson and offer freepost service on our website.

    Could you tell me the model/serial number of your Epson's and I will check our latest list for you.

    Many Thanks
    Alan

    Hi. The charity I am involved with has loads of Epson inkjet cartridges which have been donated but we can't 'sell' them. Can you PM me if you are interested? It would be nice if we could make some money from them.
