recycling toner carts?
i think i asked this before. but i have a ton of toner carts and ink carts that i would like to see get recycled. i have a few that are full. they just seem too valuable to junk, even tho no one seems to want them.
ideas?

1. Staples, OfficeMax, and Best Buy have...
cartridge recycling, and OfficeMax (maybe Staples, too) ties it into their rewards program.

i have done the refills at officemax, and they do not give you a full measure of ink.

2. Check the yellow pages
In our area, there are a number of places that recycle used toner cartridges.
