How & Where to Recycle Printer Cartridges

At Cartridgesdirect.co.nz we understand that environmental sustainability can only be achieved when local communities work together in partnership.  Compared to other developed countries New Zealand has a fairly poor record when it comes to recycling.  Recycling your empty ink and toner printer cartridges is a great way to make an individual and collective difference.  Recycling printer cartridges will save on the materials and energy used to make cartridges, and reduces the impact on landfills.

Some printer cartridge manufacturers like HP, Brother, and Canon offer a service where you can return your empty printer cartridges for recycling through New Zealand post shops, or through the Cartridges for Planet Ark Programme.  This means consumers can drop their used printer cartridges at over 3,000 public drop-off stations, or if you have a business you might be eligible for a C4PA box in your office, with a handy free collection service run by Close the Loop.  You can also hand in your empty printer cartridges for recycling at e-Waste centres throughout New Zealand.
