I always go to Staples.......you can get $3 per ink cartridge and can take in up to 10 a month (it used to be 3 a day that you could take in!!!).......they will send you a coupon, but you first have to sign up for Staples Rewards.

I buy mine from Dell and they provide you with envelopes to send them back for recycling. Where do you buy yours from?

those post office has bags you put them in seal and then they send them to be recycled, free. Very easy if you keep a few extra bags at your house.

office depot gives $3 per qualified cartridge or toner. In the form of gift card that is given out quarterly. However, I think you have to be a rewards card member.

InkSmile.com gives cash back for qualified cartridge, but not as much money.

I called Staples and Walgreens about getting my printer ink refilled but I have found ink on Amazon brand new cheaper then what both stores wanted to refill my ink.
