Every Staples store offers free recycling services for tech, ink and toner, batteries, and more.
The process to recycle at Staples is easy. First, gather your eligible items. Then, bring them in store and speak with an associate at checkout to recycle them. You can also earn rewards for recycling. This includes $10 back for recycling tech in store, $5 back when you recycle writing tools, batteries, ink and toner, or shred in store, or $2 back for recycled ink or toner cartridges. Tech recycling kits are also available making it easy to ship your unwanted tech back for recycling. Staples provides an extensive list of tech, printer cartridges, batteries, writing tools, and more that can be recycled, as well as a distinction of what is accepted when using the tech recycling kits. Alternatively, they also provide a list of items they are unable to accept and recycle in store. If you want, you can download the Staples Connect app to see your rewards, track your local community’s progress, and more.
