I see, recycled carts are not good enough for you but you don't mind passing them on to others.

I usually refil mine two or three times then bin them. You need a chip zapper for epsom carts.

I have heard adverts on my local radio for shops that will refill the carts for you at a fraction of the cost of a new one. Maybe you have one in your area too. They may even accept "donated" carts they can refill and sell on.

Personally I wouldn't buy a refilled cart as you can't be sure how many times the previous owner refilled it.

If Hypno isn't collecting them, or can't use Epson

Go here: www.eco-office-supplies.co.uk

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! :-)

tesco have envelopes for recycling cartridges and you recieve 100 clubcard points for each one.

Which is very cool for almost all cartridges, but they don't accept Epson unfortunately

Did you have success with cashforcartridges.co.uk Target? I'm thinking of using them but just wanted to check they're legit!

Cheers!

I went to the Tesco website a few minutes ago where they have a list of printers they will accept cartridges for and Epsom Printers are not on it.

It isn't clear from their text whether acceptance anyway is dependent on buying ink cartridges from them.
