Ink/toner Printer Cartridges Recycle?
by Sara Horn 23 Aug '24

23 Aug '24

Hello With a staff changes our recycling of ink/toner printer cartridges information has gotten lost in the shuffle. We have complied quite a few small cartridges from home printers that patrons have dropped off and large ink/toner cartridges from the Library's Kyocera and Ricoh printers. I am reaching out to all you to see where you recycle your cartridges. I have tried to contact Empties4Cash with zero luck. Thank you for your recommendations!
