Recycling Used Ink Cartridges Has Never Been Easier

San Diego, California – January 3, 2008 – Recycling used printer cartridges doesn’t have to be that hard. As a matter of fact, Printcountry.com has the world’s first online interactive cartridge recycling shopping cart to make the process easy and without having to pay the shipping when recycling four or more qualifying cartridges. As a matter of fact, recyclers can get up to $3.25 for each qualifying cartridge that is recycled. This is the first time something of this nature has ever been attempted online and PrintCountry.com is bringing the ability to recycle—and make money doing it—to the masses.

Instead of printer cartridges meeting their fate at the landfill, they can be given another go around by recycling them through Printcountry.com’s easy recycling program. The hardest part of the entire process is the trip to the mailbox or the post office to mail the cartridges.Printer cartridge recycling is helpful to the environment in that the cartridges are disposed of properly. When it is taken into consideration how many printer cartridges are disposed of each day by schools and businesses, that translates into millions of tons of waste overflowing landfills every year.

Currently, the United States recycles 28% of its waste, but only 5% of that waste is recycled printer cartridges. This means that 95% of the printer cartridges that are disposed of are ending up in landfills and costing taxpayers even more money in the long run. That is why Printcountry.com instated the Interactive Cartridge Recycling Shopping Cart that makes it very easy to recycle empty printer cartridges. Through recycling printer cartridges, not only is the environment getting a little help, but is also reducing the cost to the taxpayer when it comes to tax dollars paying for landfills.

All it takes is a visit to Printcountry.com’s recycling program page at http://www.printcountry.com/recycle_main.asp and follow the very simple instructions. There are three steps in which the empties are first collected, click the ‘Get Started Button’ to be taken to a page in which another button is presented that leads to a form that requires recycler information, and then the final step is to print the prepaid shipping label when it is e-mailed to the specified e-mail address. The cartridges are then mailed and a check is mailed to the recycler no more than 5 to 7 days after the cartridges have been received.

This is a new innovative step in printer cartridge recycling and Printcountry.com brought this easy method to the internet first. This has created a way to make an impact on the environment, an impact on how taxpayer dollars are spent, and even puts a little bit of extra cash into the pockets of recyclers, so there’s a little something in it for everyone.
