Staples Recycles Ink Cartridges And More

If you have a home office or run a business I'm willing to bet you've made your share of "emergency visits" to the office supply store Staples. We all know that despite our best efforts to print as little as possible, using the printer is quite unavoidable at times. As a result, paper runs low and those cartridges do need to be replaced much more often than one would like. While refilling cartridges is preferable, it might not always be the most handy option.
If you are not able to recycle yourself, bring your empty HP, Lexmark™ or Dell brand cartridges to Staples and receive a $3 coupon toward a future purchase of ink or toner.
While you are at it, pick up a ream of Staples brand 100% recycled copy paper or one of the many other environmentally preferable products currently offered at Staples. The company is involved in several other eco initiatives including other recycling programs, energy conservation and renewable energy initiatives and environmental education. For the full scoop, visit the company website.
Now… if they would only quit manufacturing that moronic “easy” button… that would be an other great move in the right direction! :: Staples
