Were you aware that you can return your empty printer cartridges and have the possibility of making money for yourself or your chosen charity.

You do need to view each website carefully before committing yourself and be aware that each organisations site:

- Will have a qualifying list (these do vary quite a lot);

- Some offer ‘free collection’ (but this is very much dependant on the number of cartridges available for collection);

- Most offer free post (just print the label and post).

As an example of what is available:

- The Recycling Factory , in conjunction with Tesco’s, will let you choose to collect up to 125 Green Clubcard Points per qualifying cartridge, donate up to £1.25 to Diabetes UK and the British Heart Foundation or donate 50% of your points to charity & have 50% credited to your account.

- The Charity Inks recycle your empty printer ink cartridge while helping generate money for your chosen charity, school or organisation partners.

The following are just some of the links should you wish to recycle your printer cartridges:
