2. Package Your Cartridges

Please reuse an existing strong envelope or Jiffy bag to send your cartridges.

This is much more environmentally-friendly than producing new plastic recycling envelopes to send to you, as you're reusing existing resources, and you can send your cartridges right now - no need to wait.

3. Print the FREEPOST Label

Please print and attach this postal label, or handwrite the address from your screen: no stamps are required, as it is a freepost address.

» Click here to view and print the postal label

Your envelope must clearly show the printed barcode, or "A/C: 09080512094501" if you are handwriting the address, in order for your cartridges to qualify for the charity donation.

4. Send!

Just put your envelope in your nearest post box, or hand over at a Post Office.

Now pat yourself on the back for helping Example Charity and the environment!

Our list of reusable cartridges is updated each month. Please bookmark this page, so that you can revisit if you have cartridges to send in future.
