Many people don’t realize how expensive HP toner cartridges can be and why. On the other hand, there is something that the average person can do to save money on a HP toner cartridge purchase. Recycling toner and ink cartridges is a growing trend in the printer market, and it definitely has the potential to have a big effect.

There are two main ways to recycle a toner or ink cartridge. The first and most direct way is to either refill the cartridge or to have a professional refill it, and then to continue using it. This is probably the most efficient way to recycle cartridges, but to the inexperienced it can also be the hardest. There are instructions online and certain computer and printer repair shops can assist, but this may be more effort that some people are willing to put into recycling toner cartridges.

The second approach is much more hands-off. Most large computer and office stores offer bins that you can toss your old cartridges in, after which the printer companies (or sometimes a third party company) refill and resell them. This is by far the easiest way to recycle, but those who choose this method could be missing out on a profit.

Certain online companies are now paying a hefty fee for ink and toner cartridges, and there is no reason not to take advantage of this. As long as the cartridges do not have any safeguards that prevent refilling or reusing, these cartridges can be worth upwards of $20. Toner is generally worth more than ink, but that is also because they cost more to buy in the first place and this helps people get back some of the money they sank in the first place. This is much more environmentally friendly than, say, buying a new cheap laser printer every time the toner runs out.
