So much for RE-CYCLING !

Took my used laser toner cartridge to the Post Office today - as I've done for about the last 10 years - and was informed that they can no longer take used toner cartridges with pre-paid labels.

If I want to return it for re-cycling it would be £4.50 postage.

Guess what ??? ................ It went in the dustbin !

Our council take them at the local tip, I think one of the local supermarkets do as well. Might be worth having a look.

Some charities collect them.

Also worth asking your local independent computer shop as some of those collect for recycling.
