One laser cartridge can take over 450 years to begin to decompose.

3 quarts of oil are used for every laser cartridge produced.

Almost 8 cartridges are thrown away per second in the U.S. alone.

Every remanufactured cartridge saves 3 lbs. of solid waste from being
deposited in landfills.

70% of all printer cartridges are currently being thrown out.
RECYCLE PROGRAM

Inkjet and laser toner cartridges are an ever-growing problem for
landfills. The vast majority of them are thrown away after only one use,
when in fact, they can be recycled and reused multiple times over.

At Cartridge World, we have a program that allows an organization to
raise funds by collecting empty printer cartridges. Our recycle program
is simple and requires very little to no work by your organization or staff.
We will provide your entity (club, church, business, school) with a
recycle bin, and as awareness grows, empty cartridges are collected
and placed in the bin. We will then set up a scheduled date and time that
we can visit you and check the bin for empty cartridges. Most of the
time, we schedule stops on a bi-weekly or monthly basis.

After taking the empty cartridges back to our store and evaluating them,
we will record what you donated to the recycle program and figure the
dollar amount that we owe your group. In most cases, you will earn
between $1.00 and $2.00 per ink cartridge and up to $5.00 per laser
toner cartridge. All payments will be made on a monthly basis. The
organization, department, or charity that the money supports is
completely up to your entity.

Advertising the "Cash for Cartridges Recycle Program" as a fundraiser
is a great way to collect a large volume of cartridges. We would be
happy to work with you on putting together literature that describes the
program and what it will be specifically supporting. The type of
advertising that you desire for this program is completely up to you. It
could be as simple as a poster set out next to the bin, or as
sophisticated as a mass letter sent to a strategic people group. We have
some great materials and facts to build a message around, and would
love to share them with you. We are very flexible and open to any new
ideas - please share them with us!
