Empty Ink Cartridges Resale

Options
I have bags and bags of empty ink cartridges which i dont want to simpley throw out.
Ive been told i can sell them or donate to a charity to make money. has anyone ever done this or suggest any good places?

I have maybe around 3-4 carrier bags full of HP cartridges of the current cartridges

I cant be bothered listing them all on Ebay but only just discovered there are companies which by them.

Thanks

    If they are genuines (i.e. not 3rd-party), then sort them by make/model then visit the various sites that buy them. You will be surprised how much the price can vary.

  • They are all 100% genuine HP cartridges as i found teh refills or cheaper home brands werent as good.
    I cant bring myself to throw them out but do know recycling places who will take them in but would prefer if i could find someone could benefit from it - be it myself or a charity

    the extra money could come in handy lol ;)
  • I had a lot of Epsons: I did not want to throw them away, and did not have the energy to try to sell them!

    I found that my local council has a recycling centre that takes them and gets them re-used so I took some there. I also found some Epson service centres inside shops who will take them. You might find that you can do the same with HP.

    It's pretty easy to do - just google 'recycling hp cartridges for cash'. You'll get around £4.50 per cartridge. Then donate the cash. Or keep it.

    :cool:
