Cartridge and mobile phone recycling

Computer Aid International is working with a leading recycling company to recycle empty printer cartridges and unwanted mobile phones.

This is a great way to help protect the environment at the same time as raising funds for Computer Aid - which provides refurbished IT equipment to schools, hospitals and not for profit organisations in the developing world.

We will send you a Computer Aid recycling box and have it collected directly from your premises when full.

To order a collection box, just fill in the below form so you can start recycling straight away!

Will donating our printer cartridges cost anything?

Computer Aid

Nothing at all! This service is completely free of charge.

What kind of cartridges do you accept?

Recent changes to the printer cartridge recycling scheme mean only certain types of cartridges and mobile phones can be accepted.

Below is a pdf document which lists acceptable equipment, please do not add any other items to your box. 

Cartridges we can accept

How do I arrange for my box to be collected?

Once your box is full then call the number on the side of the box, it will be collected and a new box delivered in its place.

What size are the collection boxes?

Computer Aid

The collection box has been designed to store up to 20 toner cartridges, (you can also add inkjet cartridges and mobile phones) and measures 62 x 54 x 42cm. The box will be sent to you flat packed, if you require more than one box then please indicate how many when filling out the form.

I need a waste transfer note, can you provide one?

Computer Aid

Yes, of course. Just mention that you need one when arranging a collection.

What happens to donated cartridges?

They are sold to remanufacturers who clean, repair and refill them and then resell the items. Profit from the sale of your cartridges goes to Computer Aid International.
