Keep hazardous materials such as used imaging supplies and cell phones out of our nation's landfills to preserve our natural resources.
One reason to recycle is the amount of oil it takes to make a new toner cartridge, the information below is from stopwaste.org...
"Using remanufactured toner cartridges also saves energy. Approximately 3 quarts of oil are burned in the production of a single new toner cartridge. A used toner cartridge can be remanufactured up to four times, depending on its type and condition, thus potentially saving up to 12 quarts of fuel."
Also...
"The typical used toner cartridge weighs about 3 pounds and is composed of 40% plastic, 40% metal, and smaller percentages of rubber, paper, foam, and toner. The plastic is made of engineering-grade polymers and takes at least 1,000 years to decompose. However, approximately 97% of these combined components can be recycled and reused."
