How to Recycle the Lexmark 82 Ink Cartridge


You just finished printing 600 great pages with your Lexmark 82 ink cartridge and have replaced it with a new one. The question then arises, what do you do with the used cartridge? How to dispose of the empty cartridge taking into consideration the fact that just dumping them in the trash is not the most environmental friendly action you can do.

Lexmark has created a recycling program for all its ink and toner cartridges to make it easy to dispose of the very threatening components they have on our Earths soil and all around eco-system. They call the program Lexmark Cartridge Collection Program and aims to make it easy for customers to discard their printer consumables easily and without having to pay a dime.

To take advantage of this program people request a postage paid return bag to be mailed to their current address. Once the bag has arrived to your place then place the empty cartridge and carefully seal it making sure it is done properly to not have mailing issues. Then drop the package in the mail and it will automatically return to Lexmark. It’s very easy huh?

Lexmark makes sure all the recovered print cartridges are correctly reused or recycled. It is a known fact that an ink cartridge can be recycled and reused up to 8 times. Taking advantage of this recycling program all users can easily take green stands towards environmental sustainability on daily tasks. Another thing that can be done is to find charity recycling sites where they pay an amount per ink cartridge and the money goes to a charitable fund raiser that could be either a school or another organization that gathers funds this way. It is important to note that the Lexmark program is only for OEM cartridges or original cartridges.

It is very easy to recycle a Lexmark 82 ink cartridge by using the cartridge collection program and it is Free! Other options are to find charity fund raising recycling sites online to sell your cartridge and help others. For best prices on Lexmark cartridges visit us at www.inkjetsuperstore.com
