[quote vicrock]We have a local business that does this - I get one day service on both the copy machine and the laser printer at work - they bring out a cartridge and pick up the empty - they even will do the replacement for me if I'm busy with something else.
And they haven't said anything about quitting business. . .
I should be more clear about the term 'recycle'. Does this company actually refill and reuse the cartridges, or do they have some vendor which takes the old ones and separates the components—plastics, metals, etc.—and recycles those?
What my guy was telling me is that it wasn't cost-effective to reuse the cartridges any more. Failing that, component recycling is the next best thing—better than the dump.
