Let me buy your empty ink and toner cartridges
« on: August 25, 2009, 12:18:36 PM »
If you have 10 or more, that is. I work for a cartridge recycling company, and we're trying to increase our incoming inventory. So here's the deal:

If you have 10 or more empty/partially empty cartridges, you ship them to us. We'll inspect them. If the cartridge can be serviced, then we will pay you for it. If it can't be serviced, we will make sure it gets safely recycled.

PM me for a pricelist, shipping address, or (if you have more than 50 empties) if you would like me to email you a shipping label.

Staples buys mine for $3.00 each.  Is your price better than that?

I deal with about 5 to 10 empty toner cartridges (mostly Samsung) a week.  They go to a local printer shop but I don't make anything from it.  I am doing something wrong.

What cartridges?

Rucas-

Yes you are. I can have UPS pick packages up once a month and we can send you checks.

If the copy shop catches me stealing their toners, will you bail me out?  Or should I stick to stealing utility wire for scrap copper?

I don't advocate stealing cartridges to sell them back. Knock yourself out if you advocate it, though.

I have the buyback list up at: Removed. PM me for the list. If your cartridge isn't on the list, then we can negotiate pricing. We normally do 10% of our price for toner and 20% for ink because of the labor, packaging, and replacement parts that go into each cartridge (we only use the cartridge core, strip all other parts, and rebuild the cartridge from the core up).

By the way, to the individual that exploited our site within 2 hours of me posting a link, fuck you. Thanks for the days of work that I have for cleaning up.
