canon Australia toner cartridge recycling program
Canon
Australia announced a new procedure for recycling Canon all-in-one
cartridges and Canon toner bottles. Instead of calling a courier, users
of Canon all-in-one printers will now either sign up as a Cartridges 4
Planet Ark program participant or take their used all-in-one Canon
cartridges and toner bottles to their nearest Planet Ark drop off
location. Businesses that consume a high volume of printer, fax and
photocopier cartridges can arrange for a free Cartridges 4 Planet Ark
collection bin to be placed in their office or building. Empty
cartridges are placed in the bin and when the bin is full, they are
picked up free of charge.Previously, Canon customers would call a
courier to collect the recyclables and deliver them to a Canon
warehouse for sorting and forwarding to a recycling facility. By
utilising the highly successful and established Cartridges 4 Planet Ark
recycling program, this new procedure simplifies and speeds up the
recycling process and reduces the burden on the environment by
eliminating the double handling of toner bottles and cartridges.
