Ink Cartridge or Toner Recycling Process
  1. Printer toner is auto ordered with our current vendor for printer maintenance.
  2. When you receive new refills for printer toner, they often come with a return package and label for recycling your old toner cartridge.  Please use this packaging or save it when you need to return your toner for recycling.
  3. Package the toner and label it with the shipping label.
  4. Request from your department requester/submitter (typically your department’s or school’s administrative secretary) that a work order be submitted with the necessary details for pickup. This includes who to pick it up from and where it is located.
  5. If you have a legacy (old) toner cartridge and do not have any return packaging or shipping label, please let us know in the work order and we can order the appropriate packing for shipping.

Please recycle your toner cartridges regularly to help keep our working spaces clean and tidy.
