Printer Ink and Toner Recycling
Go Glen Ridge Green is sponsoring a collection box at Glen Ridge Library to collect used ink and toner cartridges for recycling.
The term “e-waste” is now used to describe all of the by-products and waste generated by home and business electronics.
Cartridges dropped in the Go Glen Ridge Green collection box at the Library are sent to a certified company that dismantles, cleans and refurbishes them. Those that can’t be used again are stripped of individual parts and recycled following EPA compliant guidelines. |
