100 Ways to Reduce Your Impact

Step 87 Recycle Your Ink Jet Cartridges

Recycle your ink jet cartridges when you are finished using them. Throwing them out increases the risk of water pollution, and they are definitely not biodegradable if they sit in a landfall for a large amount of years.

Take them to a recycling center, or any other office supply store.

Staples gives you rebates on the cartridges you return.

Another way of saving ink cartridges is if your printer is compatable, you can just refill them yourself. it saved me more money than the rebates office max gives me.
