When you see some used toner cartridges somewhere in your home or office, you may not know what to do to remove them from your sight, while you are thinking that they probably give you benefits someday. Actually, you can change them into money by selling them!
Many people think that stuffs are just useless when they no longer work well in order, but if we talk about toner cartridges, things are different. Firstly, you can recycle the used toner cartridges, and you can do this to all cartridges you have, whether ones for printers, copiers and fax machines.
You can sell those empty cartridges and get dollars from this! In this case, inkjet cartridges are commonly worth about $3 each, and you can even get more than $20 from high-end toner cartridge empties. If you do not know where to go to sell the empty cartridges, you can consider charities and nonprofit groups as they will collect the cartridges to be recycled.
Of course, you should ensure the quality of your used toner cartridges before selling them. You have to find out that they are a type that will be accepted by the recyclers. In this case, ones which are worth money are ones that still have a built-in print head. Several brands of the cartridges are reliable for this, such as Dell, Hewlett-Packard (HP), and Lexmark.
Then, you can also exchange the empties for a discount on new toner cartridges which you can do in office supply stores. Staples is an example, since Staples will give you $3 off the purchase of a new cartridge for each of the empties. Considering store credit on any purchase at several office supply merchants is also a good idea. The recommended one is Office Depot which will redeem the empties for $3 and recycle up to 20 cartridges each month for ones come from any brand.
The last consideration to sell the empty cartridges is online buyers, in which you will find online companies that purchase them outright. The amount of more offered to you is similar, or about $3 for low-end cartridges and up to more than $20 for the high-end models. To make the transaction well, remember to include a packing slip listing the contents of the packages that you send.
