We have an account set up with The Recycling Factory to be able to recycle used printer cartridges. The company will pay Candlelighters for each cartridge received.

This is a great, environmentally friendly way to support us!

All you need to do is package up you used cartridges and attach a free post label available HERE.

The freepost weight limit is 1Kg, if the cartridges weigh more than this they need to be broken down into smaller parcels.

If you have more than 15 cartridges then the company will book in a free collection, you just need to email [email protected] and quote our account number which is: 17102012202601. Please note that they do not recycle compatible inkjet or toners, fax or photocopier cartridges, or brands such as Ricoh, Panasonic, Toshiba, sharp or Xerox.

A full list of cartridges they accept can be found HERE.
