How to Recycle Old Ink Cartridges at Office Depot

Office Depot will accept any brand of cartridges from any store—even if they weren’t originally purchased from Office Depot. You can recycle them one of two ways:

• In-store: Just bring your used cartridges to any Office Depot’s 1,100 stores nationwide and an associate at the register will take them. 
• By mail: You can also recycle by mail. Print a prepaid UPS shipping label here, package your cartridge up, and drop it off at your local UPS store.   

Get Up to $20 Back Each Month

Become an Office Depot Rewards Member and get $2 back in rewards for every ink or toner cartridge you recycle. You are limited to 10 cartridges per month, for a maximum of up to $20 in rewards. To get the rewards, you’ll need to make a $10 qualifying purchase from Office Depot during the same month. The rewards are paid out monthly as an online rewards certificate, which you can use to save on your next order at Office Depot.
