Printer Cartridges & Toner

All types of printer cartridges and toners, including tubes, can be recycled. UD Recycling partners with Mailing Services and Environmental Health and Safety to capture cartridges and toners from copiers and printers on campus.

Mailing Services collects, packages, and donates used toner and cartridges to Charitable Recycling for recycling and reuse that raises money for Dayton Children's Hospital.  Mailing Services also collects consumable items from campus copier machines, such as toner cartridges, imaging units, waste toner bottles, developer drums, etc., and recycles them with Konica Minolta through their Clean Planet Program.

To recycle your cartridges:

• Repackage the cartridge in a box. Use the box from the new replacement cartridge or a similar sized box.
• Clearly mark the outside of the box "Recycle".
• Leave the box with your outgoing mail for Mailing Services to collect.
• Small cartridges for desktop printers can be packaged in a campus mail envelope, clearly marked "Recycle".

If your department or building generates a large amount of toner and cartridges, request a container for collection. 

Toner cartridges can also be returned to blue collection bins located at central collection points. If a collection bin in your area is full, please complete a service request for service. Drop-off locations include:

• RecPlex lobby
• Anderson Center outside IT Service Center
• Marianist Hall lobby
