My stab at printer cartridges and toner

I'm trying a batch through Need Empty.



I'll update with how it went. should ship today.

I would suggest cleaning them up real good, especially the contact parts, take lots of pictures and enclose an itemized list with your packing and what you expect to get money wise. Also make a note of all the dates on all of them. I shipped some to Ecycle Group and they tried to rip me off. They said if most were "bad" especially the high dollar ones. I disputed it and then they said they automatically consider ones over a certain age to be bad. This info was not listed anywhere on their website. I ended up getting almost all of what I was owed, but if I would not have argued it I would not have. Good luck!!

Make sure to post your results here... http://www.scrapmetalforum.com/gener...dge-buyer.html lots of info.

I also have sold to Ecycle Group and about 50% are said to be bad.

Yep, check that thread mentioned earlier. That was my experience w/Ecycle Group also!!

In my one attempt at selling to a cartridge recycler I got $17 for 43 cartridges. I have found the Staples program to be most cost effective. Although I am limited in how many I can recycle, it takes the uncertainty away.

Sell them on E-bay for others that are going to take advantage of store programs.

They paid me for all but one of the full toner cartridges I sold them.

They didn't pay me for any of the empties I sent them, saying they were all nonvirgin, broken, or empty? I don't understand that bit... I would think you would want them empty.

I got $18, and didn't pay shipping. I'll call it a day, and try somewhere else next time...
