Where does one dispose of used cartridge??

Office Depot, Office Max and Staples used to accept used cartridges. If you are their member, they may credit your account with $2-3. I have not done this recently, so you may want to check. Of course you can recycle it with your garbage handling company. Since the after market cartridges are so cheap, it may not be worth getting them refilled at Independent Cartridge filling shops. These shops may be happy to recycle your used cartridge though.

Staples and Office Depot will take them in and if you have their rewards card, then you get a $2 credit for each cartridge (up to 10). This applies to both toner and ink jet cartridges.

Try this, remove the cartridge from the machine, run some hot water in a small container then submerge the heads in the water and let stand for a few hourspreferably over night, replace the cartridge and you should be good to go! Good luck.

Yes, toss it and move on with life. Mine was terrific at first too, and then converted itself into a piece of junk that defied every effort to restore it. This printer turned out to be a waste. I even bought a replacement print head for mine, and a ton of ink cartridges. Big mistake.

Your printer will tell you which cartridge(s) needs replaced. And the other cartridges can be stored for later. ;)

If you save the old cartridge, you can refill it with fountain pen ink (note: not India ink, which will clog your pen's feed) using an eye dropper or syringe. They now also sell converters for this pen, which are essentially able to suck ink up out of an ink bottle and store it for use.

It was unopened - however had to eventually toss out. Had too many problems with this cartridge. Kept getting error message to check color cartridge. Went to Staples and bought one new one, and no more problems. I have a feeling these are either old cartridges, or refilled and sold as new!

I've been trying to find the same thing out for myself. An empty cartridge that I can refill? Anyone have any input?

I do not see any expiration date on the cartridge itself. No longer hv the box.

Staples recycles some. Also try your library or call an electronic store (ie. Best Buy). If these places don't take them, it's quite possible they can tell you who does?

Giselle, I believed, Amazon, or the supplier sent me a label to return the old cartridge back to them. FYI. great buy, it works very good and last enough!!!

take out the cartridge and put in dishwasher..then on the cover there are directions on hot to run the fan to help dry it if your putting it back in wet.

I can send you empty cartridges if you want. Send me a email as soon as when you pay for it.

Sorry, as a previous customer I have no idea what the expiration date on a cartridge you have would be. I assume that would be an answer only possible by the manufacturer.

Canon wants the used cartridges back, so it is my bet that you won't know about that status of any individual cartridge. It goes out with new specs, whether used or new.

It is packaged as if it were to be sold in a store. It is also packaged to allow the spent cartridge to be sent back to the manufacturer for recycling.

You get the bottle at Ace Hardware or most places that have lp has. When it runs out you just take the bottle (cartridge ) back and replace it with one that is filled
