Recycling Printer Cartridges – here’s how you can do it.
Printer cartridge recycling options:
- Send them to IJT Direct for recycling. Here’s how:
- Parcel up your used cartridges in a sturdy box
Perhaps you could utilise the box / packaging your order was delivered in — if you haven’t recycled that already?
- Address them to:
IJT Direct c/o Recycling Department,
Unit 1 Polham Lane,
Somerton,
Somerset,
TA11 6SP.
- Send them to IJT Direct using a courier or Royal mail service.
Unfortunately, we do not offer a freepost service for recycling printer cartridges.
- Take them to your local recycling refuse centre.
Many local refuse centres pride themselves on high recycling rates and as such provide specific ’’bins’’ for batteries, printer cartridges, clothes and the like.
- Take them to your local supermarket, supporting a printer cartridge recycling programme.
Normally a recycling bin can be found near the entrance to your local supermarket.
- Visit a local supporting charity.
Many charities can accept empty printer cartridges for recycling, often earning a donation. A simple interest search will display many options.
In order to reduce your carbon footprint, it’s important to ’keep it local’’ and use the recycling facilities near or around you. Keeping road miles to a minimum will greatly help the environment.

Q: What printer cartridges do you take?
A: IJT Direct takes all used printer cartridges & maintenance parts.

A: More often than not, they are stripped of any precious metals contained within the chip, then the plastic is recycled into products such us, garden furniture, Outdoor play areas, plastic bottles, car parts and more!
