    I'm new here...but this is kinda my specialty. I found that the best buyer for most cartridges is Planet Green. They seem to pay the most on average. For cartridges they don't take, or pay less than $0.20, I send those to TerraCycle for $0.20 a pop. Beats Staples credit, in my mind.

    Yep, them and The eCycle Group who just paid me $195 for 30 Dell RF223 toner cartridges and they pay the shipping, even send you boxes.

    Beauty of this, besides the $$, was that the empty cartridges were delivered to my doorstep.

    I originally used the eCycle Group but they don't take nearly as many inkjets or pay as much as Planet Green.

    I have about 100 assorted ink cartridges and got on Planet Green's website. I'm thankful that it is informative and has prices, and wished they would put the model #'s in order to make it easier to find. The vast majority of cartridges are $.05, or $.25 at the most. By the time you box up and deal with all the hassles, why wouldnt anyone get the store credit at Staples (assuming there is one nearby). Just about everyone uses office supplies or other stuff they sell there. $5-$15 or $200 credit? Its a no brainer.

    The best part is that Staples actually sells other household items like laundry and dishwasher detergent, batteries, coffee, and toilet paper. It's been free daily use items for us for months now. You can even order everything online for better assortments of products and have it delivered for free to your local Staples. Just my two cents...
