Disposal

If you are intending to buy replacement ink and toner cartridges, you should also think about what you are going to do with the empty cartridges. There are millions of ink and toner cartridges used each year and statistics suggest that 95% of them go to landfill.
Here are some ways that help us to dispose of the empty ink and toner correctly.

• Do not allow this material to drain into sewers/water supplies.
• Instead of throwing empty CLI551 multipack or PGI550 ink cartridges into the bin for landfill you can collect them and when you have enough gathered you can make the trip to the local Council recycling centre. There are containers in all refuse sites that will accept used ink and toner cartridges.
• The popular way is to find the companies in your nearby area that take in your empty toner cartridges. There are many third party manufacturers which buy the empty toners, refill them and resell them into the market. The amazing part of this process, the third party manufacturers compensate you for providing them the empty toners for recycling.
• The another way is that you can directly contact the toner cartridge manufacturers. Many companies have their own recycling plants, where they take back the used empty toner cartridges.

If we all start this practice today, we can surely make a difference to our own carbon footprint in upcoming future.
