Are these recyclable? If so, how? (Mail them in, drop them in recycle bin, etc.)

Once these cartridges are used they are empty, so I just dropped them in the recycle bin with the other metal recycling and AFAIK there was no issue.

I'm not really sure, but I think that it would be if they were enpty and sold as scrap, like ammunition.

Yes absolutely - just recharge them instead of throwing them away if shows "replace"

They are reusable, if you handle them carefully. Some of the ones with fine details can tear if you aren't careful.

You can use them over and over for yourself until they break, (not sure if you mean do they go in the blue recycle trash- I think no?) I use them every day and get at least a couple of days from each one. Sincerely, Feliciana

I don't see the recycling symbol anywhere on the cup or lid. It does say they're made with 20% recycled material, but I don't think they are recyclable.

You can take used cartridges to office depot. They recycle them and you get some sort of rewards points if you are a Office Depot club member.

I can't answer about the recyclable nature but they are not stiff, about the same thickness as photo albums use.

Yes, they're recyclable - made completely of paper/cardboard. That's why I chose them over bubble envelopes.

I think it depends upon where you live. I'm not 100% sure (because I don't have any more on hand) but I think they are #6 type plastic which is recyclable in some cities.

These cartridges are disposable and cannot be refilled but .... as they are metal, they can be recycled.

They must be moved to a regular compost bin. This is just to collect scraps.

They are mixed together. I have thought about that myself since I recycle the paper. If you want to keep them separate you might try putting a tall kitchen garbage bag over the bin full of paper shreds without emptying bin. Or even a large piece of paper or cardboard covering the paper shreds would probably work. The card shredder doesn't make microshreds like paper, but as I remember cuts it in 4 strips so that it's unusable.

No, they are a once-and-toss product. Personally I wouldn't buy them again b/c I don't think they worked AT ALL in the capacity they were advertised for & which I bought them for (diaper pail). The fact that they aren't recycle-able isn't so nice either.

That I don't know. They are recyclable though. I gave them as an anniversary gift so I didn't look at the labeling. The other answers given I would agree with.

Sell them on ebay if you want to sell them - or I'm sure Goodwill or similar organizations would be happy to have them.

I believe they are plastic, but I'll have to check with the organization I bought it forand won't be able to do that until Monday. If they are other than plastic I will letyou know.

Strange... there is some info on bottom but no 'triangle' with # to indicate the recycle code?? They are a fairly heavy duty plastic and I have been using them for quite some time with no issues to speak of. I would still give them 2 thumbs up.
