Re-cycling Ink Jet Cartridges

powershopper

DOES ANYONE KNOW OF AN ORGANISATION WHICH WILL RE-CYCLE EPSON INK CARTRIDGES. ALL THE SITES I VISITED SAY NO TO EPSON, AND I'VE GOT LOADS, MUST BE SOMEONE OUT THERE............

they're Inkjet Cartridges

Quote from their site:

"For each inkjet cartridge that you recycle, you will receive 100 Green Clubcard Points or you can choose for Tesco to donate £1 to the British Red Cross"

Hi powershopper,

I've moved your thread over to the Green and Ethical Moneysaving board to see if you can get any more suggestions.

Thanks Penny, I'll give that a shot. Good to hear that East Yorkshire still exists, can't beat the old names I say!!!:T

I saw the Tesco scheme and thought at last someone was doing Epson cartridges but I found this on the website :

'How does the scheme work?
As with mobile phones all customers need to do is pick up an envelope in store, fill it up to 3 used inkjet cartridges and send it back from any post box – free of charge! For each recyclable* cartridge either £1 is donated to charity or 50p is donated and 50 Clubcard points awarded.

*Please see envelopes for details of which cartridges we cannot recycle'

My guess is they will exclude Epson - something to do with the printhead not being built into the cartridge like most other brands I think.

On the tesco envelope it says: Please note that although all inkjet cartridges will be recycled, points/donations can only be given for cartridges that work in your: Hewlett Parkard printer, Lexmark printer, dell printer, Canon BC02/05/20/BX2/BX5 printers (see website for full details)
