Ink cartridge recycling schemes that pay for empties

Options
It looks like The Recycling Factory only now allow you to recycle ink cartridges if you send in at least 50 at a time, there was previously no minimum. Their site still mentions a scheme in Tesco stores paying Clubcard points but there's no mention of it on the Tesco website and I don't live near a Tesco.

Inkviro allow you to recycle if you have £10 of eligible cartridges but are there any others for smaller number of cartridges?

    Sell 'em on eBay. 

    There's always someone there wants to buy them

    Unless there's someone local who wants the exact type you have, then you have to factor in the £3 or so it'll cost to post them.

    I used to use the Recycling Factory / Tesco scheme a lot in the days when you sent the inks direct to RF.  But since its changed to putting them in a big container in Tesco stores, i havnt been credited with any i put in there.... managed to get the relevant Clubcard Points after phoning the Clubcard Helpline., but havnt bothered since then,  shame as it used to be a good way to boost the CC points balance.

    Will wait till i accumulate a decent amount of empties then stick them on Ebay.
