Laser printer cartridge recycling

Hi, does anyone know of anywhere you can send LASER printer cartridges for recycling and get some money back? I can find loads of sites for inkjet cartridges but non for laser ones.

Many thanks. Lee

    I don't know about anywhere to recycle them. But I know you can get refill kits for them. They work well and are ridiculously cheap.

    Sorry I couldn't be more help.

  • Reuse before you recycle. Most laser cartridges can be easily refilled and you can carry on printing..

    try

    https://www.lasertonerrefill.co.uk

    then once your cartridge packs up you can recycle it at an empties broker

    Dependent on how many you have https://www.itp-empties.co.uk , https://www.accutecc.co.uk (these have paid me twice, but on the last shipment decided to take 40 cartridges from me, accept them and then say they didnt want them, so no payment).

    I've used the above company.

    Got £1 per unit for Hp toner cartridges - but they did need reminding that I wanted to be paid!!!!

    Good Luck and let us know how you get on.

  • Hello everyone, I need suggestions about inkjet laser printers though I accidentally bought labels meant for laser printers and have already printed on them with my ink jet printer. I noticed that the ink is taking longer to dry...are there any other problems I should watch out for? What happens if you use an inkjet printer on laser lables? Please suggest me seriously. Thank you in advance.
