Sarah previously wrote about safe and ethical electronics recycling, and we follow up today with a little information about additional options.
Office supply stores like Staples often have recycling programs1 for computers and peripherals, including cash back for ink and toner cartridges if you prefer not to bring them to a local refill business like InkTec Zone or Cartridge World franchise.
