Take the ink cartridges out first. Toss them in a box and take them down to an office supply store. Most will give you a few bucks each but usually have a limit on how many you can recycle in a day. Or, there's places online that buy used cartridges so they can refill them.

For whatever reason, my husband LOVES taking apart printers. We have an overabundance of them and do the recycle-ink-cartridges-at-Staples thing. One thing is, you can only bring in 10 per month. If we have over that we give them to teachers that we know since they buy so much stuff for their classes out of pocket, so they can recycle them and get the rewards.
Still looking for somewhere that will take the plastic, though.
