We’ve introduced a new service for our customers – ink cartridge recycling. Currently, only 5% of cartridges purchased in the UK are recycled – the other 95% end up in landfill causing considerable environmental damage. Cartridges are made from a plastic that can take up to 1,000 years to fully decompose and any ink left inside will leak and pollute the surrounding environment. By recycling ink cartridges, we can conserve natural resources and energy.
If you’re a customer of The Consortium, All you need to do is request a FREE recycling box from us – on our website, enter the following code: 500677 – CARTRIDGE RECYCLING KIT, and once it’s full, call the number on the side of the box (one of our many trusted partners!), and they’ll collect it from you and recycle your old cartridges.

Thanks for sharing. My sister is a consumer of yours and I will tell her about this awesome news. I also recommend people to recycle other electronic wastes such as computers, mobile phones, VCD players and etc. Get cash for old phones just by sending them to recycling sites.
