Ink Cartridges
While some printers use true cartridges, which include both an ink tank and a print head, other printers use ink tanks, which just contain a reservoir of ink. Only true cartridges are collected for recycling; ink tanks should be disposed according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Some ink tanks may be able to be refilled.
Staples and Office Depot recycle ink cartridges. Please check with them prior to dropping them off.
