3. Recycle your empty printer cartridges

You can get a freepost bag to store and send off your empty ink cartridges from Environmental Business Products on 0800 435576 or order them on line from an excellent website.

Ask your friends to hand their empty cartridges to you

You send the envelope to EBP and can nominate which charity you want to support from an extensive list which includes Guide Dogs for the Blind Save the Children and the Woodland Trust


This prevents your cartridges going to a landfill site and has enabled EBP to donate over £500,000 to 52 charities in 12 countries

This is all SUPER DUPER - BUT BUT BUT BUT - there is a problem with EPSON cartridges which are not accepted by any of the recycling firms. You can hand them in at Epson Express Centres and they will then be recycled – go to their website to investigate the nearest centre to you.
