Best ink/toner recycling program???

[mamamanda]

I've searched the internet and the threads here at HCW and I'm just not finding a good one. I used to be able to take my toner cartridges to Office Depot and get (3) $3 coupons each time. Looks like no one is doing that anymore and I have a huge box of cartridges in my garage right now. I need a quick turnaround so I can buy school supplies for my 3 kids in the next few weeks. Any suggestions or current threads? TIA!

Break it to me gently, ladies. There isn't one, is there?

Office Max and Staples both have the same program.

However, with Office Max, you have to sign up for their Max Perks card {you don't need to be a teacher/business/whatever}, and the rewards aren't immediate; instead, they send you your reward every month....every three months? I can't quite remember. I took some in in Feb. or March and got the reward in March or April, so I don't know if it's done quarterly or monthly.

I think the Staples program is done the same way, but don't quote me on that! I'm not positive.
