STATE OF CALIFORNIA UPDATE The current contract with the California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB) expired on January 31, 2007. All State offices may continue to participate in our cartridge recycling program. This program does not earn funds for the State or your office. Nonetheless, we encourage you to reach your AB75 goals which benefits the environment for all Californians by reducing the amount of waste going into landfills.

Recycle Free will accept Inkjet cartridges, Laser cartridges and Mobile Phones.

Recycle Free does NOT accept copier cartridges, fax cartridges, drum units or fusers.

CARTRIDGE COLLECTION UPDATE 06/18/07 Recycle Free has updated their Inkjet & Laser cartridge collection program. Our new program uses Prepaid cartridge UPS return labels. Recycle Free does not ship empty Inkjet mailers, Inkjet displays, Inkjet collection boxes, Laser collection boxes or other similar materials. It is cost prohibitive and most companies in our industry have ceased distribution.

We will continue to ship the following items:

1. Prepaid cartridge UPS return labels for all Inkjet & Laser cartridges.
2. Collection boxes for Mobile Phones

PLEASE DESTROY ALL ENVIROSMART COLLECTION MATERIALS IMMEDIATELY.

DO NOT USE THE ENVIROSMART MATERIALS.

We apologize for any inconvenience. This change does not affect our inkjet cartridge or mobile phone recycling programs. Thank you for your understanding.

We Accept Virgin Cartridges Only

In an effort to continue our environmental service to you at no cost, Recycle Free must enforce our new policy of not accepting remanufactured cartridges or compatible cartridges.

In the past, Recycle Free maintained its policy to accept all cartridges, including these non-virgin cartridges, all while costs continued to increase. These non-virgin cartridges have little or no value in the industry as they have been physically altered in one way or another and will likely fail another remanufacturing attempt.
