Printer cartridges

I have a steady flow of office printer cartridges that I usually send back to Hewlett Packard for recycling and have realised that I may be missing out here!
I have looked on boots.com but they dont take the cartridges that I have, does anyone know of anywhere else where I can build up cash or reward points for recycling?

I used catridge express for recycling they used to send out freepost envelopes but for hp ones I put on ebay at 99p and got more than what the recycling people offered and the people that buy them reuse them so still doing some good!Working to be debt free by September 2014
Worked in Travel for 10 years so happy to help with any query!

Try printerinks [dot] com (can't post the link properly as I am a new member). They have a loyalty scheme for returning your empties, just like the milkmen of days gone by!0

The recyclers will only take genuines though, not refills. Depending how confident you are, you could try buying a chip-resetter for your carts and refill them yourself.
I used to do this with my old Epson. Saved an absolute fortune.Never Knowingly Understood.
