Where can I send Epson cartridges for recycling?

Question

I used to recycle them at Office Depot and or Staples and now neither of those stores recycle Epson cartridges. I have also looked on the Epson site as well as the internet and have found nothing. Am I mistaken or is there no one that will recycle the material?

What can I recycle through this program?

Any EPSON brand of computer equipment or peripherals on the drop-down

menu are accepted. This includes EPSON printers, scanners, digital cameras,

laptops, computers and projectors. For products not listed, including large format

printers and professional equipment, products may be accepted by contacting us

for special instructions. You may contact us by email at

[e-mail].

Can I send other manufacturer’s products through this program?

We are only able to accept EPSON equipment at this time.

How many products can I return?

Our on-line service accommodates up to 10 EPSON products. For larger

requirements, please contact us at [e-mail] to make

arrangements.

How do I package my equipment for shipment?

Please follow the packing instructions provided by EPSON. All products must be

properly boxed, sealed and labeled for shipment by FedEx.

Does EPSON provide boxes and packing materials?

No, we ask you to provide your own supplies. You can use the original

packaging, or other boxes that are sturdy enough to handle the weight of the

equipment. We encourage you to reuse acceptable packaging for your

shipments. Packing boxes and materials are also widely available at many

packaging service centers.

Can I use an alternative shipping method other than FedEx?

Our on-line service provides ground transport via FedEx only. If you wish to use

an alternate carrier, please contact us by email at

[e-mail].

Can I participate in this program without providing my email address or if I

do not have an

email address?

An email address is required to set up your account at the Epson Store and

process your recycling order. Your email address and an Epson Store account

are also necessary in order to process your reward coupon.

Why do you need my mailing address?

Once your order has been completed, we will be sending you a pre-paid FedEx

shipping label through the mail. This label is required for shipping your equipment

to the recycling facility.

What happens to the equipment I send in?

We recycle used products by shredding them at a licensed facility. After the

shredding process, the materials are separated into ferrous and non-ferrous

components and then sent to other mills for further processing.

What if I send you the wrong products?

Once the equipment is provided to FedEx, it cannot be retrieved or returned to

you. Please make sure you check the package contents prior to shipping.
