At Black Cat Printing and Stationery, environmental responsibility is at our core. That’s why we offer a convenient cartridge recycling program, empowering individuals and businesses to contribute to a greener future.
The Environmental Cost of Discarded Cartridges
Empty printer cartridges, especially those made of plastic, contribute significantly to electronic waste. Traditional disposal methods send them to landfills, where they take centuries to decompose. This can lead to harmful toxins leaching into the soil and water, posing a threat to human health and ecosystems.
The Benefits of Recycling Printer Cartridges
- Resource Conservation: Recycling reduces the need for virgin plastic and metals in new cartridges. This lowers energy consumption and preserves limited resources for future generations.
- Reduced Landfill Waste: By diverting cartridges from landfills, we minimize their environmental impact and the need for additional landfill sites, protecting natural habitats.
- Energy Savings: Recycling uses less energy compared to manufacturing new cartridges. This translates to lower carbon emissions and a cleaner environment.
- Reduced Reliance on Oil: Virgin plastics used in cartridges are often derived from oil. Recycling lessens our dependence on fossil fuels and promotes a more sustainable future.
Black Cat Printing’s Hassle-Free Recycling Program
We offer a convenient way to recycle your used cartridges:
- Drop-off at our Blackwood Store: Simply bring your used cartridges to our designated drop-off point. Our friendly staff will handle them securely for proper recycling.
What We Accept:

What We Don’t Accept:
- Compatible/Generic Cartridges: Due to compatibility and recycling process limitations, we cannot accept compatible, generic, remanufactured, or refilled cartridges.
