What can I do with old ink cartridges besides throw them out?

Answer 1

Turn them into Office Max, you can get a free pack of paper, schools and charity organizations usually recyle them and get paid a few dollars for each.

Answer 2

If you don't want to refill and use them again, the U.S. post office has plastic prepaid envelopes that you can use to mail them off to recycling centers. Pick up a handful and use them. I do. Disposal of ink cartridges is a major problem for landfills.

Answer 3

recycle them for sure!
1. post offices have baggies you put the cartridges in and you mail them for free to the recycling plant
2. you can take them into staples and get a discount on a new cartridge
3. check at your workplace, there are ink cartridge recycling programs that benefit charity
