Recycle Your Inkjet Printer Cartridge For Cash

Out of the 60 million inkjet cartridges and 44 million toner cartridges used each year in Canada alone, less than 8% are recylced leaving over 95 million of them being thrown away and ending up in landfill sites.


Landfill sites contain over $100 million worth in raw materials from discarded printer cartridges alone. These cartridges contain precious oil resources (it can take up to 6 pints (almost 3.5 litres) of oil to make just one printer cartridge), as well as cartridge ink, both worth a fortune to replace as new.

In less than one year, recycling cartridges in Canada could save more oil than the 11,000,000 gallons spilled by the Exxon Valdez oil tanker into Prince William Sound in Alaska in 1989.
