Recycle Used Print Cartridges – Save Money

Did you know you can recycle your used print cartridges, and get a store credit?

I found out about recycling used print cartridges, quite by accident. I was in Office Max, and a customer was turning in used print cartridges. She got a store credit, which, in turn, reduced her total purchase. I asked the cashier about their policy, and she said that they give a store credit of $3.00 per used print cartridge cartridge.

Last week, I was in Office Max, and the cashier let me turn in five used print cartridges, for a savings of $15.00.

I have since called two other office supply stores, and here’s what I found:

Both Staples and Office Depot, offer a credit/coupon for $3.00 per cartridge. You can turn in up to three a day

Call your local office supply store, and see if your used brand of print cartridges, qualify for the in-store credit.

Recycling is always a good thing. And, by recycling your used print cartridges, you can “make money”. How sweet is that?

  1. Just to let you know the last time I went to Staples to turn in ink cartridges, they told me that they are now sending credit in the mail. I did not get a $3 gift certificate, but a coupon for a percentage off if I spent $75. You may want to check this out and see if I was correct. Maybe they will eventually send me a gift certificate, when I reach a certain amount. I will be checking also.

    1. Hi Juanita,

      Thank you for sharing that. I haven’t turned any cartridges in recently, but did enjoy getting an instant credit off of my purchase.

      I’m going to check at Office Max too, as that’s where I go for most of my office supplies.

      P.S. The last time I was at Office Max they did tell me they no longer give credit for Brother (brand) cartridges. That’s too bad as my fax machine is a Brother. 🙁

  2. I know Office Depot also changed there policy..

    Up to 20 cartridges a month – can be returned all in one day.

    $3.00 a cartridge on your rewards card.

    However, you must spend $60 a month already at Office Depot to receive your full rewards.

    Hope this helps!
