We’re currently running 2 Samsung laser printers in our home office: one is just a printer, the other is an all-in-one. They are fabulous – I love them to bits. Quiet, efficient, fast, reliable. Everything any inkjet I’ve ever owned wasn’t.
To top it all, when I had to replace toner recently, I spotted a notice on the box that Samsung now run a recycling program for toner cartridges: once you’ve installed your new toner, you pack the old one back into the box the new one came in, then go to http://www.samsung.com/printer/recycle/ to register your and your printer’s details, and print out a postage-paid return label to send it home. Brilliant!
You can recycle ink cartridges lots of places, but toner cartridges are harder to dispose of, so this service is fantastic.
A quick google suggests that HP are running a similar service. If your printer manufacturer offers a free recycling service, give them some kudos in the comments below. If not, drop them a line suggesting they should! 🙂
