While it might seem easier just to toss the old printer out for garbage collection, there are better options. At CompandSave we encourage recycling. We have shared numerous articles about how to recycle your ink cartridges but did you know you can also recycle your printer?

We have all been in this situation before: Your printer is telling you that is time to replace your ink cartridge. Knowing you don’t have one at home, you chuck your old one into the trash out of frustration. But don’t do it! Before chucking your used cartridge in the trash…Stop. Ink cartridges are not biodegradable and therefore if not disposed of properly can have a negative impact on the environment.
