Reminder on recycling ink and toner cartridges

August 18, 2021

Did you know that most ink and toner cartridges can be recycled and reused? If you have an expired cartridge, you can send them by campus mail or drop them off to the Environmental Health and Safety Office, 110 Lee Hall, or call 315-312-3157 to arrange pickup.

EHS recommends not waiting for a large stack to develop for everybody's convenience. If sending, not a lot of taping is recommended since EHS has to unpack them to send them out for recycling.
