No, ink and toner cartridges should never be placed in your general waste or kerbside recycling bin. These cartridges contain residual ink and toner, which can include harmful chemicals that pose risks to both human health and the environment. They are considered hazardous waste and require specialised recycling.
Many office supply stores, electronics retailers, and dedicated recycling programs offer safe and convenient cartridge drop-off services. Always use these services to ensure responsible disposal.
Thank you for your recycling enquiry. Please feel free to get in touch with Recycle Mate anytime.
Kind regards,
Murphy
