Hi.
I know a few companies used to do this a few years ago as it came up on one of the MSE emails.
Is there anywhere that still pays for old used ink cartridges for recycling.
I have about 50 used HP ones.
If anyone knows and can post details I would be very grateful.
Thanks.

Is this website of any interest?... www.recycle4charity.co.uk
I found that by sticking recycle printer cartridges into google.
Maybe by doing the same you can find something closer to your needs.1 -
Ones I've seen only pay you about 5p per empty cartridge , hardly seems worth the cost of the fuel to post them.
I refill mine to recycle them that way but my hp printer is old and doesn't have the issue of the printer rejecting them
Don't places like tesco, asda, ryman offer recycling , maybe drop them off there next time you need some shopping?

If they're genuine HP cartridges you can get freepost envelopes from HP sent to you to mail them back fro recyclnig - but they won't pay you for them.
(I don't have the link to hand where you request the envelopes but it's somewhere on the HP Support website)1 -

Looks like The Recycling Factory mentioned therein will send you a box and pre-paid return postage that'll take 50 cartridges.2 -
Many charities, like mine, ask people to give them their used cartridges to recycle. We use recycle4charity. They recycle the cartridges and some are worth money to us.0

I listed 12 on ebay auction and got £14 for them. did include postage but still worth it.0
