Does anyone have any info on where to recycle Canon ink cartridges?

[Arkansas Granny]

For a few years, where I work, we've been sending our used ink cartridges back to HP under their recycling program. You order free, postage paid envelopes at their website and send the used cartridges back to them, free of charge.

We recently bought a Canon printer and I can't find anyplace on their website where they offer this service. I've gotten so used to sending the used HP cartridges back that I don't want to start throwing these used cartridges in the trash. Does anyone have any experience with returning them for recycling?

1. I think OfficeMax would take them. I just bought reconditioned Canon...

ink cartridges from OfficeMax yesterday.

2. Best Buy has bins for these things as you walk in.

3. Our local post office has prepaid mailer invelopes for sending them

somewhere for reuse/recycling, IIRC. Check your PO.

5. I have the impression

that Canon doesn't care much about stuff like that.

6. Hp has a patent on their cartridges so there's a market to reuse them. Canon doesn't. Even the

non-brand Canon inktanks tend to be new, rather than reused, inktanks.

7. Try earth911.com

Go to www.earth911.com tell it where you are and what you want to recycle, it will give a list of places to bring it.
It's worked well for me.
