The lucrative alternative:
Disposing of ink cartridges at geldfuermuell

You have probably also often been annoyed that you had to dispose of an empty ink cartridge after only a short period of use. The capacity of printer cartridges is on average 400 to 600 pages, depending on the paper quality. With average private or business use, this number of pages is quickly reached and disposal is the order of the day. Yet ink cartridges are technical masterpieces that are far too good to throw away after printing once. The most common ink cartridges can be refilled. Leave the reuse of empty cartridges to us and send us your used cartridges. You save on disposal, avoid waste and even receive remuneration for the cartridges on our purchase price lists!

Take a look at our Purchase lists for empty printer cartridges. You dispose of the ink cartridges listed there by selling them to geldfuermuell for recycling. But what happens to ink tanks or printer cartridges that are not listed? Do you have to dispose of these ink cartridges - just throw them in the rubbish as before? For some ink cartridges, this is indeed the only way to dispose of them. This is due to technical feasibility but also to the demand for remanufactured ink cartridges. Ink tanks, i.e. cartridges without an integrated print head, are usually not refilled but remanufactured patent-free. It is best to dispose of such empty ink cartridges directly in the non-recyclable waste. Alternatively, you can take the empty ink tanks to your local recycling centre or return them to your supplier.

When disposing of ink cartridges via geldfuermuell, please pay attention to the packaging!

Please pack purchased ink cartridges securely for transport. The cartridges should be refilled; this is only possible with cartridges that arrive undamaged. You cannot return a broken deposit bottle. The same applies to printer cartridges: We only dispose of undamaged ink cartridges against remuneration, defective cartridges or cartridges damaged in transit are no longer suitable for our purchase! Even if we dispose of ink cartridges that are unsuitable for reuse free of charge: please avoid disappointment and pack your cartridges safely for transport. Please follow our instructions!
