Recycle at home depot/lowes or any other establishment with such facility. You may google for in your area or contact the sanitation department.

When I buy a new toner, there is usually a shipping label inside. I repackage the empty toner in the box the new one came in and put the label on the outside. Ship and done.

I bring to my local Staples store and get a recycling credit toward future rebates.

Brother actually provides return label under their environmental programs. Beside that, many ink refill will be happy to take your empty cartridge for free.

I haven't yet. I plan to try to reuse it with OEM refill at some point (or at least try just to answer my own question). Staples and Office Max will take them and give you credit against purchases if you want to go that route.

I trade them in for a credit at Office Max - while its true that the credit only amounts to about $3.00, I have been unable to find any business on line that will pay real $$ for these empty but quite expensive cartridges.

Try this, remove the cartridge from the machine, run some hot water in a small container then submerge the heads in the water and let stand for a few hourspreferably over night, replace the cartridge and you should be good to go! Good luck.

Check the new toner make sure it's installed correctly and full. I always put a piece of black tape over the sensor so I don't get that warning when it's still half full. Then I would turn the power off, unplug it for a minute or 2. Then plug it in and follow the reset instructions for that printer. They're available on line.

Drum is separate. Toner can be filled however really not recommended. In the long run you may have issues with the drum / fuser

You may have to remove the cartridge ant take off any protective film etc. There is an instruction manual. However, you may also have got a used cartridge from your seller. You may want to search online for the product support telephone number and they may better assist you.

No that is not true. I change only the cartridge that is empty and it works fine

I ignore the pop up messages and just delete them. When the printer stops working because the cartridge is actually empty, we replace. The warnings give you enough time to order a replacement, but I've found that the printer will run for several weeks before replacement is needed. Clearing the nagging warnings can be tiresome. BTW, ours is 9325CW.

When the print from a toner cartridge begins to fade after couple thousand pages or so, remove the cartridge and give it a good shaking. Then, replace the cartridge. It will behave as new again for an unknown period of time. Good machine.

I've been trying to find the same thing out for myself. An empty cartridge that I can refill? Anyone have any input?

The machine calculates when the toner is low by the number of pages. It does not have a sensor to tell when the toner is actually low. So after you reset the toner the count on the number of pages resets. There is no way to know when the cartridge is truly empty until print quality diminishes because of low toner. It is very noticeable when the toner starts to actually get low. I had to reset my toner 3-4 times before the black needed to actually be refilled because it was truly running out of toner.

either remove and replace the ink cartridge the printer thinks is empty, or try just opening and shutting the unit like you are going to replace the ink cartridge. I simply open and shut the machine. there is no way that I know of to stop the printer from thinking its out of ink.

Take the toner cartridge out and give a very good shake in all directions (like with a salt shaker) to loosen any clumps. If possible, change the printer DENSITY to higher so that more toner gets deposited on the page. Print a couple of pages of BLACK by copying a BLACK sheet of paper.

The toner is in the cartridge. I have been using it for months and it has been working fine.
