    Look at the RNIB website, they will send you envelopes to send your empty cartridges for their charity
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.

    I save mine up and send to:

    Empties Express
    Unit 2 Cipher House
    Culmhead Business Centre
    Taunton
    TA3 7DY

    who pay aboyt £1 an empty I believe, they pay into my Paypal account.

    Mine are Lexmark cartridges so you would have to check on other makes

    The Recycling Factory - they send postage free envelopes. £1 donated to Childline for every recyclable cartridge received.

    It all depends on what make they are and whether they have been refilled or not.

    Lexmark and HP are generally worth something - brother and epsom are generally not.

    PM me your list and I will tell you what I make of it!
