Waste Management Recycle-2-Save™ Kits To Enhance Printer Cartridge Recycling
St.Louis – Waste Management’s free Recycle-2-Save™ program gives everyone the opportunity to recycle their printer cartridges and help the environment, using the mailbox instead of the recycling container. Every year more than 350 million printer cartridges of all shapes and sizes are discarded in homes and businesses. The Recycle-2-Save™ mail program provides the chance to shrink this environmental impact.

The 5 steps to success for cartridge recycling are easy:
• Order free recycling boxes online at http://www.wmlamptracker.com/cartridgerecycling
• Collect and pack used printer cartridges with bubble wrap or newspaper
• Ship your empty cartridges using the pre-paid postage label
• Track your shipment online and receive a certificate of recycling
• Save money on future cartridge purchases through http://www.amazon.com/printclub

Each cartridge is inspected, refurbished and reused if possible. Any broken or outdated cartridges are recycled.

“Printer cartridge recycling is now easier than ever,” said Carrie Spencer, Waste Management spokesperson. “As a leader in waste and environmental services we are constantly looking for new ways for our customers to be sustainable and green. Keeping printer cartridges and other recyclable items out of the solid waste stream saves landfill space and controls customer costs; it’s better for your business and better for the environment.”

Recycle-2-Save™ kits are available in a variety of sizes, from large office toner boxes to small inkjet cartridges. In addition, printer cartridges may be dropped off at local Cartridge World locations for recycling.

Waste Management is North America’s largest recycler, managing more than 8 million tons of recyclables per year, saving natural resources and energy. The company plans to triple that figure with initiatives like the Recycle-2-Save™ program by 2020.
