How
much does it cost to participate in your program?
Nothing. We will never ask for
money from you. We will only pay for your empty cartridges. There are no start-up
fees or materials you need to buy.
How
hard is it to recycle with TONERinx?
It is very easy. The only thing
we will ever ask of you is that you let the appropriate people in your organization
know that they should save their empty cartridges and cell phones. We will
pick up your empties and phones, sort them, properly recycle anything we
can't pay you for,
and
send you
a
check. There's no sorting, packing, or shipping for you to do.
Do
I have to buy remanufactured cartridges or cell phones from TONERinx?
No. We don't sell anything. We
just buy empties and used cell phones.
Do
you sell remanufactured cartridges or cell phones?
No, we are not a remanufacturer.
We only collect and redistribute empty cartridges and cell phones based upon
worldwide demand.
How
do I schedule a pickup? What
do you do with the empties? Should
I keep the box the cartridge came in? Can
you recycle cartridges that have already been remanufactured? What
does OEM stand for?
Your Recycling Coordinator should
schedule a regular pickup (weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly). Or you can just
give
us a call and ask us to pick up your items on our next scheduled pick-up
in your area. We will be very prompt.
We gather thousands of cartridges
and cell phones per month and sell them to remanufacturers throughout the nation,
wherever demand
is greatest for particular items.
It is usually easier for you to
put your empty toner cartridge in the box that your new cartridge came in, and
write "RECYCLE" on the box. This helps prevent any toner leakage and
helps us to identify the cartridge when we get it back to our warehouse. There
is no need to keep boxes for inkjet cartridges, but if you find it easier or
cleaner to do so, we will make sure that the packaging is properly recycled.
TONERinx pays mostly for OEM (virgin)
cartridges that have not been previously remanufactured. There is a small list
of remanufactured cartridges that we can re-sell. Please contact us for specifics.
If we collect remanufactured cartridges from you that we cannot pay you for,
we will properly dispose of them through standard plastic recycling programs.
Original Equipment Manufacturer.

IBM, Xerox, Panasonic, Compaq, etc, that haven't been previously remanufactured.
