Does anyone know any places which will recycle non branded cartridges?

Im not so bothered about getting any money, but if it could lead to a charity donation that would be a bonus, otherwise just keeping them out of landfill is good.

Thanks

I had the same problem with several non-branded Samsung remanufactured cartridges. In the end, I went to Samsung's website and printed out a label and sent back the off-brand cartridges.

Maybe they didn't make it, but it's for their own printer and at worse they can chuck it into their specialist recycling facility with the rest of their own-brand cartridges that failed quality checks.

To save you time navigating corporate websites, here's some direct links:

Hi,

I've got loads of ink cartridges to send off (to Tesco) but no bags - I've requested some about a month ago and still nothing has come? And I've also been in two local stores and they don't have them.

Has anyone just sent them off without the bags - what info should I put inside the box? Just a letter with clubcard number, name and address?

Hi,
I would ask them if they are still doing the scheme! It seems that they do not know in the stores. Shame really, as with Tesco you do get something back, in points that is, and it would be great if the stores would be more helpful on this, with providing the bags.
Good luck, keep trying.

Does anyone know for definite if this deal is still on with Tesco's for recycling ink cartridges for points?

I've never done it but would like to! Thanks!

I just looked on their website and a search said "not found". I typed in "Recycling ink cartridges for points".
So then, it looks as though this scheme has been stopped. Unless someone else can advise differently, of course.
I am shopping at our local Tesco today and I'll ask Customer Services about it and see what they say. Confirmation either way and I will get back to you.

Thanks BLUEWKD. I had a look and the list does not show the ones we use, so that lets us out! Others on here will be glad to go to that link though, so it's not wasted. I forgot to ask at the customer service desk today, and now I don't need to.

I have requested envelopes; now twice actually. Once 5-weeks ago. I have loads of cartridges to send as well. I would like them on my next statement if possible.

You can get some on Ebay (I have found). Begrudge having to pay for them though...

As I posted on the other thread just now - have you tried the link given above? Apologies if you already have done so.
