What do you do with your used home or office printer ink cartridges?
Why not put them in the pre-paid Recycle4Charity envelope available at your local Masonic centre and post it. Its as simple as that.
The Provincial Grand Charity will be paid £1 for each cartridge on the wanted list.
Makes you can recycle include HP, Dell, Lexmark, Canon, Samsung, Neopost. Please don’t send Epson or Kodak cartridges as they are actually ink tanks, not inkjets and unfortunately are not on the wanted list. Laser/toner cartridges are also not accepted.
Inkjet cartridges must be in suitable condition to be recycled. Only virgin cartridges on the wanted items list raise money for charity when recycled. All inkjet cartridges must pass a visual inspection & electrical test. "Virgin Cartridges" mean cartridges which have not been refilled before and carry only the original equipment manufacturers branding. Cartridges don’t have donation value if they:
- are damaged
- have been previously refilled
- have been labelled for another brand like Tesco, PC World or Office Depot
- have labels removed or extra holes
