  • Can I recycle them anywhere, it seems a shame to just throw away???

    some of your local supermarkets have recycling boxes next to all the other recycling stuff, i don't think there is anywhere you can take them to get money back.

    Although we have cartridge world where you refill them to use again.

  • Tesco have envelopes that you can fill, then post (free). No money but you get some Tesco points for certain makes. At least they get recycled.

    Laserjet CE261A is a toner cartridge and not many people take the toner cartridges and you'd be hard pushed to find someone that does. Go on the rule that if the cartridge is bigger than the palm of your hand, it's most likely a toner. Most companies have lists on the cartridges that they accept just google recycling inks and so forth and you'll get a host of companies if you have inks.
