Printer Ink Cartridge Recycling - Mail-in cartridges



Mail your empty ink cartridges to be recycled and sent back.
Saving the environment and money by ink cartridge recycling.


How to use the ink cartridge recycling services.
Purchase an ink jet / toner cartridge recycling mailer. Single mailers allow you to recycle both black and color cartridges. There are also 6 and 12 pack mailers.

When your existing cartridge is empty, place it in the mailer, complete the return address label, and put it in the mail. No postage is necessary. Keep your Inkmail customer receipt number for each mailer you send in. This number is located inside the mailer and is required for any questions you may have regarding your mailer.

When your print cartridge is received at the recycling center it is professionally cleaned and refilled with quality ink. The cartridge is then print-tested, sealed in a protective bag and shipped back.

You receive your recycled cartridge in the mail and use it until it runs out of ink and you are ready to recycle again with a new mailer.

Allow 10-15 business days for the entire process to take place.

What to do if your cartridge is leaking when your receive it.

Changes in air pressure during shipping can cause small amounts of ink to leak from the cartridge into the protective bag that holds it. This does not harm the cartridge and it does not mean that the cartridge will leak in use. If this happens to you, just dampen a paper towel with water and clean the cartridge before placing it into your printer. To prolong the life of the cartridge after you receive it back from recycling keep it in the sealed bag until you are ready to use it. Keeping the cartridge in the bag will prevent exposure to air that will dry the ink in the cartridge. If you do remove it from the sealed bag before using, make sure to store it in a zip-lock bag.

 

What if your cartridge is deemed unserviceable because is does not pass the quality test.

Not all cartridges are serviceable. Some cartridges are worn out, as all inkjet cartridges eventually wear out. Each cartridge is cleaned, filled and print tested. If a cartridge does not pass the print tests it is deemed unserviceable. There will be no replacement of the cartridge or a refund. You will get a new mailer for use with your next empty cartridge.
