Goodwill Industries to Collect Cartridges for Remanufacturing

Goodwill Industries, a model in the recycling and re-use of clothing, appliances and household goods, has partnered with a division of The Turbon Group—Recycle Your Empties—to recycle used printer cartridges in the US. All Goodwill donation centers will collect used ink cartridges donated and ship them to The Turbon Group’s remanufacturing facility in York, Pennsylvania to make them suitable for re-use. The company will also provide free, prepaid mailers and boxes to ship the cartridges so that customers need not pay to recycle their cartridges.

The Turbon Group will pay Goodwill a certain rate for each cartridge collected. The funds will go to Goodwill’s job training programs that help local residents with disabilities and disadvantages.

Mark B. Boyd, President and CEO of Goodwill Industries, said: “In our 65 year history, we have mastered the recycling process. From recycling textiles and household goods to computers, carpet, TVs and now printer cartridges, we have learned how to maximize their value and sustain our environment.”
