Just got all excited, thinking I'd found a new way to make loads of cash. Unfortunately, they don't accept Epson cartridges.

Does anyone know of any companies that will pay cash for used Epson cartridges?

Oh didn't know this was possible I'd also be interested in one that accepted Epson cartridges, not that I go through loads but everything helps

They seem to pay 10p for most cartridges. I use the Tesco recycling scheme - 50 points on the clubcard for each plus 50p to charity.

Epson not accepted though.

Apparently yes (Only virgin i.e. non-recycled cartridges and not Lexmark manufactured HP toner cartridges nor anything that is broken)



I would double check with your employer first though. They may not be so happy if they discover you are making money from them, even if you are removing their scrap. It's not worth losing your job over!

Has your company got a suggestion scheme? Before you say no, best to double check. I've worked for a number of employers and used their suggestion schemes for financial reward even though the majority of the employees including some managers and even some of the personnel department didn't even know of it's existence.

Why not suggest your employer use the site to obtain money for their used cartridges rather than just disposing of them (which they probably have to pay someone to take them away). A good suggestion scheme often rewards the employee based on the amount of savings your employer is anticipated to make.
