What you Should Do with Unused Printer Ink Cartridges

If you are not sure what to do with old unused printer ink cartridges, then Trade Your Toner is pleased to provide you with suggestions on how to deal with them.

Before looking at what you should do with old unused printer ink cartridges, allow our team to show you some of the things that people commonly do with their cartridges, and why they may not be the best or most practical ideas. 

Keep them Stored Away 

Many people believe that having back ups is a good idea, and it is, but excessive amounts of back up ink cartridges can become more of a hindrance than they can help. This is because simply storing cartridges is going to take up space that could be used for something else, and when they are just laying around not being used, because you have so many, back up ink cartridges are a waste of money. This is especially the case if they dry up or expire as, when you do go to use them, they won’t print what you need them to. 

Throw them Away 

Owners of businesses have a duty of care when it comes to making sure that there is good waste management. Not only should as little waste as possible be produced, but all waste should be disposed of properly and in a legal manner. So while you may think that throwing away your cartridges is the most simple solution, you actually need to think about how you are disposing of them, and if you are sticking to legal requirements in order to keep your business out of trouble. Figuring out how to dispose of your cartridges can take up your time though which can disrupt your work productivity and ultimately, put you behind.
