Environmental Services Recycling, rubbish and litter
It is senseless to throw away used printer cartridges as they can easily be refilled and reused, saving on precious resources such as oil in the process. Refilled printer cartridges work just as well as new ones! The scheme used by the Council means that the baby charity, Tommy’s benefits every time you send back a printer cartridge for recycling.
Printer cartridge recycling bags are available free of charge from your local library, the Town Hall and the Council Offices. Simply place used printer cartridges into it and post it off. The envelope is FREEPOST so there is no postage cost.
You can only recycle Inkjet printer cartridges in the FREEPOST recycling envelope. You can recycle the following empty cartridges:
Please note: Please don’t send any other type of cartridge in the FREEPOST envelopes.
If you have other printer cartridges, such as laser cartridges, you can recycle them at the purple Inkjet and Laser recycling banks across the Borough.
Please see the pdf below for details of their locations. If you have any other type of printer cartridge which you would like to recycle but are unsure about, please ring this freephone number for advice: 0800 435576.
