Zero Waste Initiative
Follow our simple guide to responsibly dispose of your used empty ink without spending a dime.
Are you wondering how to recycle ink cartridges for free? You aren't alone. Millions of cartridges are thrown away annually because consumers don't know that free, easy solutions exist.
Our program eliminates the cost and hassle of recycling. Whether you have a single inkjet from your home office or pallets of toner from a large corporation, we provide the resources you need to recycle for free.
We have simplified the process into four easy steps. Follow these instructions to ensure your cartridges are recycled properly and to take advantage of our free shipping program.
Before you ship, check our price list to see if your cartridges qualify. We accept major brands like HP, Canon, Brother, and Lexmark. Most virgin (never before recycled) cartridges qualify for free recycling and cash back.
Create a free account on our portal. This allows you to track your shipments and receive payments. No credit card is required to sign up.
Once logged in, navigate to the "Shipping" section. Enter the estimated weight or quantity of your box, and we will generate a prepaid shipping label (FedEx or USPS) for you to print at home.
Place your cartridges securely in a box. Use newspaper or bubble wrap to prevent damage during transit. Tape the free shipping label to the outside of the box and drop it off at the nearest shipping location.
Do not remove the print heads or circuit boards from the cartridges. Damaged cartridges may not qualify for the full buy-back value, though we will still recycle them responsibly.
Many office supply stores offer rewards points, but we offer a direct service that prioritizes environmental impact and cash returns. By learning how to recycle ink cartridges for free through us, you ensure:
