Recycling Printer Cartridges
I heard on the Mrs Green Goes Mainstream radio show today about a great company called Cartridge World. They accept empty cartridges. They can also re-fill old inkjet cartridges or re-manufacture laser cartridges for you. With the high cost of ink cartridges, they can help save a good chunk of change! Refilling cartridges costs up to 50% less than buying a new cartridge.
In addition, recycling your cartridges is the environmentally friendly choice! Did you know that it takes one gallon of gas to produce a new laser cartridge? In addition, every re-manufactured cartridge saves 3.5 pounds of solid waste deposited to the landfill.
This tip has been provided because I listened to Mrs. Green Goes Mainstream and her guest today, Kathy Sawyer, co-owner of the Cartridge World stores in Tucson, Arizona.
