As of February 4th, the Toner Cartridges Recycling Bins will be retired. It is unfortunate, but changes in the refurbishing market have made it very difficult for local recycling companies to compete.
ALTERNATIVE FOR CANON COPIERS ONLY:
Your Canon copier may actually qualify for a toner cartridges recycling pre-paid shipping label. You will find the list of qualifying models and all the instructions on how to print and ship back your bundled cartridges HERE. If your copier is not a Canon copier or is not listed in the pdf, please contact greenu@miami.edu.
