[SgFreecycle] Useful Info: Recycle Toner and Ink Cartridges

 

I have checked that the initiative is currently ongoing. Please support this project and do our part to minimise our impact on the environment.

Extracted from Epson website:

Project Homecoming will provide easily accessible cartridge recycling bins at 13 NLB libraries where the public can deposit used ink and toner cartridges from printers of any brand for recycling - even those of other brands not in the Project Homecoming partnership. The cartridges are then periodically collected for proper recycling.

Recycling vendors of the joint initiative will collect the cartridges from the boxes and break down recyclable parts including plastics and metal. These recycling processes will help minimise waste, landfill and pollution while maximising the recovery of valuable resources.

Extracted from Hardwarezone:
So where do I bring the ink and toner cartridges? At this point in time, recycling boxes can be found at the National Library Building at Victoria Street and 12 NLB libraries located across the island. And fret not, there are no restrictions on the brands and types of ink and toner cartridges that can be recycled.
The list of libraries where the recycling boxes are located is as follows:
  1. Ang Mo Kio Public Library
  2. Bedok Public Library
  3. Bishan Public Library
  4. Bukit Merah Public Library
  5. Geylang East Public Library
  6. Jurong Regional Library
  7. Jurong West Public Library
  8. Marine Parade Public Library
  9. National Library Building
  10. Queenstown Public Library
  11. Tampines Regional Library
  12. Toa Payoh Public Library
  13. Woodlands Regional Library
The recycling boxes are placed inside the libraries, which means you need to pop by when they're opened. Still, that shouldn't pose much of a problem as the libraries close as late as 9.00pm in the evening.
