Recycle your toner and inkjet cartridges with Age UK and you will help older people, reduce landfill and preserve resources.
We work with Reclaim-it, a company that arranges cartridge recycling on behalf of charities. They can only recycle original cartridges manufactured by Brother, Canon, Dell, HP, IBM, LEX, QMS and Samsung.
We have two A4 posters, one promoting toner and inkjet recycling and one for the toner and inkjet recycling collection point - download them from the box on the right.
To ensure the cartridges don’t get damaged in transit, please send them in their original boxes (Reclaim-it can provide you with a sack to put these in) or call to request a box to put them in.
You can order inkjet cartridge recycling envelopes by emailing your details to us at info@reclaim-it.com or by calling 01635 876 900. Please note that unfortunately we do not supply envelopes for toner cartridges, only inkjet.
If you have unused and unwanted new cartridges, contact Reclaim-it who may be able to purchase them from you.
Call 01635 876 900 and please remember to state that you want the proceeds to go to Age UK.

Downloads
A download is a document (like a research report, a leaflet, or an application form) that can be transferred from our website to your computer. You can download a file, view it on your screen, print it, or save it to your computer.
PDF stands for ‘portable document format’.
Most downloads on this website are PDFs. We use this format to ensure that the document looks the same on everyone’s computer (website pages, by contrast, appear differently depending on how people have set their computer up).
Computers use a program called Adobe Acrobat Reader to download PDFs. If you try clicking on a link to download a PDF and it doesn’t work, you will need to install Adobe Acrobat Reader onto your computer.
The process is quite straightforward and is free.
PDFs cannot be changed. If you need to be able to type into a downloaded document (for example, if we are offering a letter template that you need to put your name on) we will provide it as a Microsoft Word document rather than a PDF. You can then download it, type into it and save it to your computer.
Downloads will open on your computer in a new browser window.
Inside this window (below all your web browser menus), there will be a toolbar with options for you to print or save the document.
Close the browser window to return to the Age UK website.
We have made every effort to make our PDFs accessible to screen readers. Here is an overview of your accessibility options available in Acrobat Reader. Please ensure that you have downloaded the latest version of Acrobat Reader from the Adobe Reader website to ensure that they are included in your version of the programme.
You can use Adobe Reader to read a PDF out loud with the following shortcut keys:
You can also convert a PDF into a web page by following these steps:
You can convert a PDF document into a text file for use with other software and hardware such as Braille printers by opening the PDF and choosing ‘Save as text’ from the File menu.
