    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.

    Canon all-in-one cartridges – Recycling program
    Small
    businesses and home users should drop their used Canon all-in-one
    cartridges and toner bottles in specially marked boxes at participating
    Australia Post branches or visit the recycling web sitefor their
    nearest Planet Ark drop off location.
