  • I believe that if you are with Tesco Clubcard, you can get points that route as well. I have an empty canon cartridge, but the better deal would be to go through Tesco, at least in my case.

    Thanks though...

    If you go onto the tesco website and look for green clubcard points (think it's in the environment section), there is a link about recycling inkjet cartridges. You can order some freepost envelopes through them, when they arrive just pop your cartridge in with the tear off slip that says whether you want the points or a donation made to charity.
    Might be able to pick the envelopes up instore but I'm not sure.
    HTH. :D

    think boots do same thing, to get advantage points or a donation to charity.

    Tesco is a con. They only give you the 100 points if they can recycle them which is about half the amount you send them(even if they are included in acceptable inkjet list).

    I recycled mine with Tesco. I sent them 30 cartridges and they added £28 to my Clubcard points.

    You were very lucky. I even rung them and man adviser on the phone said that probably only half get ink jets get credited with the 100points. They send them off to another firm who testes to see if they can be refilled.
