Anyone know any charities who are collecting them or anywhere that recycles them? Thanks

Scope shop has always been happy to accept mine.

Most schools will take them. But not Epsons as they are just tanks. Why don't you get them re-filled yourself? Save yourself some money and save the planet as well.

www.cartridgeworld.org/
for a shop near you.

Thanks, they are from my old printer that has broken so can't get em refilled, thanks for reminding me about cartridge world though, think they might take them anyway I vaguley remember seeing a sign in there once.

what's wrong with epsons? always wondered why the charities don't want my cartridges .

discoverlife · 18/12/2007 16:13

Epsom cartridges are just tanks with no actual printer head on them, which is why they are cheaper to buy, less technology on them.

Tommys (baby charity) recycle lexmark and hewlett packard, and some canon, but not epson.
