subject: Making Money By Recycling Printer Ink Cartridges And Cellphones [print this page] Do you simply take them out of your printer and chuck them into the waste basket? And your cellphone - what do you do with it once it gets broken or another model captures your fancy? Do you throw out your old cellphones too or do you just let them languish in the bottom of a drawer?
There are better fates that you could relegate your old cellphones and empty inkjet cartridges to, aside from just letting them collect dust or throwing them away. In fact, dumping your old cellphones and empty inkjet cartridges in the trash is a wasteful activity. It wastes the expensive resources that went into creating them, not to mention the fact that they pose harm to the environment.
The best way that you can get rid of your old cellphones and empty inkjet cartridges is to recycle them. And did you know that you can make money out of recycling old cellphones and inkjet cartridges?
Why should you recycle inkjet cartridges? Each cellphone and ink cartridge is a bundle of plastic and metal. Plastic is created from oil, and we all know that oil is a non-renewable resource. The same goes with metal. Metal is not a renewable resource either.
When we throw away an ink cartridge or a cellphone instead of getting them recycled, we throw away products crafted from non-renewable and easily depleted resources. These materials could have been used in making other things. The plastic from inkjet cartridges or cellphones can be melted and used to create other plastic materials like buckets or dustbins.
But it is not just a matter of wasting precious resources away. Inkjet cartridges do not degrade and they also contain chemicals and materials that can be harmful to the environment. If they end up in a landfill, the chemicals and materials that ink cartridges are built with can end up poisoning the soil and affecting the ground water.
How to Earn Money from Recycling Ink Cartridges and Cellphones
Earning money from recycling ink cartridges & cellphones is simple business. You just send them to a recycling center that specializes in ink cartridges and cellphones, and they will pay you for your stash. Some recycling centers buy ink cartridges and cellphones by piece, while others buy by bulk.
