Epson Ink Cartridges

Antyone know the best thing to do with these?

I know lots of places want other types of cartridges but nobody seems to want Epson - what should I do with them?

Dont get through that many - have 3 and its the first lot I've changed in 18 months! I use the works one if I can - saves me plenty!!:T :rotfl:

  • Refill them?
  • You can refill them at Cartridge World which has branches all over the place. Also, they can be recycled - charity shops sometimes take them and get money for them.

    I asked at my local ink shop and he said that the Epson cartridges that I use (I have a R300) cant be refilled as they dont have the bit that he uses to refill.

    Didnt think to check with other places but will just in case it isnt the case with all places.

    Other than that - as ellybelly (thats what my DH calls our DD :)) says - no one seems to want them!

    Epson cartridges are useless lumps of plastic once finished with. All you can do is chuck them.

    They recycle epson cartridges and give money to SENSE. If you email them and ask nicely they'll even send you freepost bags to put them in :-)

    They sell very cheap cartridges as well! :-)

    collectacart.com pay 10p for epson cartridges which arent on their list, if you've got over 100 worth a shot.
