Toner cartridge recycling

The Directorate of Estates will be launching an official scheme for the recycling of toner cartridges in the near future.

In the meantime, toner cartridges can be recycled by placing them in clear plastic bags (no more than FIVE cartridges per bag) and leaving them at the local office paper/blue bag recycling point. This will ensure they are collected by the Campus Cleansing Unit for subsequent recycling.

Anyone wanting clear plastic bags for this purpose should contact:

• Charlotte McHugh, Waste and Recycling Assistant, on 50343 or charlotte.mchugh@manchester.ac.uk
