Tesco Printer Cartridge Recycling

Gosia

Hi

I've got the same problem.

None of the Tesco stores EVER do recycling bags for the cartridges.

I've been on the Tesco website about 5 times now - again the only link is for ordering bags if you want to donate your cartridges to charity.

So does anyone know the address where I can send in the cartridges to Tesco. I know there is one for mobile phone recycling - you just send it in your own envelope to a freepost address.

But there are simply no details on where to send cartridges!

Any help would be much appreciated - especially since I've got about 10 cartridges that I would like to send in now.

I have a couple of cartridges ready to go in the post tomorrow. Looking at the envelope the details are as follows:

Tesco Marie Curie
The Recycling Factory
Freepost ANG3654
BOSTON
PE21 7BR


If you are a customer and would like to order more envelopes, please call 0800 0910 696, quoting Marie Curie, email [EMAIL="tesco@trf-uk.com"]tesco@trf-uk.com[/EMAIL] or visit www.therecyclingfactory.com

I usually find they are on a hanger where the ink cartridges are in most Tescos.

Otherwise they are in the Customer Information rack - it has a holder fro them and also for phone envelopes.

If I send them off to there does it mean I will also be entitled to get Tesco points or does it mean that they get donated to Marie Curie charity?

Oh goodness that sounds bad, but this quarter I've only managed to collect a lousey 323 points so far!

i have 30 to send off and want to ensure that they arrive at tesco, i read that when people send it via recorded it only takes a few days for points to go on, but recorded it about 70p per envelope!! with 30 inks it would work out to be expensive

Has anyone sent 30 recorded at one go, and if no, what is the cheapest way of sending large ink quantities ensuring that they sign for acceptance at the reccyling centre for Tesco's

Anyone know the proper address to send the cartridges off to???

If I send them to the address at Marie Curie I believe that I won't get any points. Is that correct?

On the envelope there is a tick box, money to Marie Curie or 100 green clubcard points. If you visit www.therecyclingfactory.com as mentioned above, you can get the envelopes

I know more about the Tesco recycling scheme than anyone could ever dream of!

Any questions just ask!

Does anyone know the dates which the per annum limit apply? I don't want to send my cartridges in to find I should have waited until March next year instead of January.
