No. InkBank will supply an InkBank Recycling Center Display, into which the shipping boxes are inserted. You can use any type of cardboard box, or you can order large and small shipping boxes from InkBank at no cost. Our mission is to protect the environment and recycle. Adding more boxes to the environment, just to advertise our name, is contrary to our mission, but we also understand that some of our customers have difficulty finding boxes, so we encourage you to order them if necessary.

9. What Are Some of The Biggest Mistakes We Can Make In Our Recycling Program?

  • Sending in cartridges that are not eligible for recycling

  • Sending in non-virgin, previously remanufactured cartridges

  • Forgetting to take laser cartridges out of their original boxes

  • Failing to wrap your laser cartridges in newspaper to prevent damage in shipping

  • Sending In Epson Cartridges. Epson Cartridges are not eligible for Recycling

  • Missing out on important information because the InkBank Account information was not updated

10. What If We Have A Business That Is Willing To Give Us A Lot of Cartridges?
Good things like this happen all of the time. If you have such a business supporter, we want to make it really easy for them so they will keep supporting you. First, we will provide you with Business Recycling Bags, for businesses using inkjet cartridges. They are postage prepaid by InkBank and they just drop the full bag in the regular mail. Second, if the business is using the larger laser cartridges, we can provide them with a recycling box and we will pick up your cartridges directly from your supporter's business location. INKBANK DIRECT is our program where we will send the UPS truck directly to the business with a prepaid label, so that your business supporter is not inconvenienced by having to bring the cartridges to you. All they need to do is put a note in the box indicating that the shipment is for your organization. A call, fax or email from them, letting us know the box is ready for shipment is all we need.
