Due to the increase in transportation costs, REMP is asking that individual laser cartridges be recycled using the pre-paid shipping label that accompanies the installation instruction in the box with each new replacement cartridge. If a return label does not accompany a cartridge, the cartridge should be disposed of in the trash.
This applies only to laser catridges, not small ink jet cartridges than may still be sent for recycling using the pre-paid plastic envelopes.
The increased cost of shipping has forced a change in the arrangements REMP had made to get laser catridges recycled. We are asking that individual users of laser cartridges use the pre-paid label that accompanies the installation instructions in the box with each new cartridge to send the cartridge in for recycling. Please carefully follow the instructions that accompany each new cartridge for recycling the old one.
In the past, we had asked that laser cartridges be placed in the original box and sent to us via campus mail. We are now asking that laser cartridges be returned using the pre-paid shipping label. Mail services will not accept a cartridge without a pre-paid shipping label.
The small in jet cartridges can be recycled using the postage plastic envelopes available in computer labs, at OSCAR or other locations on campus. The income from recycling these cartridges in this way helps to off set the costs of recycling and waste disposal on campus. If you need envelopes, please contact us at irecycle@ithaca.edu or the Recycling Information Line 274-1777.
