Fall Recycling season
As we enter the 2018 Political season, we want to make sure you’re aware of how you can get a real reward from being a loyal ink4mail.com customer.
Place a ink4mail.com recycle label on a box or two around your production facility (We’ll send you a label in your next order), and encourage your team members to place (not toss ) the empty cartridges into the recycle box, rather than the trash.
Once the political mail season has settled down in November, check and see if you have 50 or more to send in, let us know and we’ll send you a pre-paid UPS label to ship them to us.
Please have the number of boxes, their individual weights, and the number of cartridges you are returning when you ask for the label.
We appreciate you consolidating smaller boxes together to help us control shipping costs.
We’ll credit your account 75 cents for each OEM cartridge that is not physically damaged. Previously recycled / refilled cartridges are eligible for a 25 cent credit per cartridge.
