Recycling empty original HP toner cartridges have never been easier or more profitable.
Our HP empty original toner cartridge recycling program provides your business or organization with a toner cartridge recycling box in order to collect all of your empty toners.
Once your original empty HP toner cartridge recycling box is full, it is then picked up free of charge and delivered to the HP Planet Partner Toner Cartridge Return and Recycling program.
That’s the easy part. The profitable part is that we refund approximately 10% of the original new HP toner cartridge cost to you when you join our HP original toner cartridge recycling program.
This empty HP toner cartridge program is free of charge but is only available for used original HP toner cartridges. Previously recycled or non-HP compatible toner cartridges are not eligible for our toner cartridge recycling program.
