U of A Has New Way to Recycle Toner Cartridges
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – The U of A has a simple way to recycle ink and toner cartridges regardless of brand. Please do your part to make sure empty cartridges don't end up in a landfill. Here's how it works:
- Driver pickup program: Next time you get a Staples delivery their driver will collect your cartridges for you, regardless of brand.
- Prepaid return mailing-label: Mail your cartridges back for free. Simply print your label at StaplesAdvantage.com/recyclinginktoner.
- Toner Cartridge Recycling Box: Add the SKU (984666) to your next Staples order, put your empty cartridges into our recycling container.
Many of the cartridges submitted to this program will be refilled and sold as refurbished cartridges at a discounted rate. Consider buying refurbished ink and toner cartridges the next time around to complete the cycle. The U of A Bookstore handles the recycling of batteries, computers, cell phones, and more. Bins that accept these items can be found on the loading dock on the northeast corner of the bookstore. University-owned equipment cannot be dropped off; if you need to dispose of University-owned equipment please visit surplus.uark.edu for more information.
More detailed e-waste information can be found on this E-waste flyer.
