2. Return to Tonerink.co.nz
Tonerink.co.nz can recycle Tonerink Brand premium A+ toner cartridges or inkjet cartridges. Sorry, our price in the new cartridges is up to 60% off the brand new genuine cartridges and we do not have the margin to cover the return cost of the used toner or ink cartridges. Please cover the cost of postage to return them to our office (based in Auckland, New Zealand).
However, we might offer you some discount if you return the used cartridges to us and buy some new Tonerink brand premium A+ toner cartridges. Please contact us for that at https://www.Tonerink.co.nz
Sorry, we do not recycle aftermarket no brand or low cost toner or ink cartridges. Some no brand aftermarket low cost cartridges were made with poor material and with poor condition, which does not accord with the Green Consumption and the 3R conception(reuse ,refill and recycle), leading to the great damage for our environment.
