HP printer recycling can be done a couple of ways. What works for HP models will also work for other types of printer recycling, but HP offers a service that buys back printers. In this post, I want to share with you how this works, and some alternatives to recycle your old HP printers.
On their website, HP offers a service that allows you to either recycle or sell them your used printer. They don’t buy all models, so your ribbon cartridge printer will probably have to recycled!
What’s cool about this service that they do free shipping and handling on HP and Comaq printers. Great if that’s the brand of printer you have, but not so great if you are planning on recycling printers from different brands.
The buyback program probably isn’t as profitable as it would be if you listed your printer on Craigslist, but all you have to do is ship it to them instead of actually selling it. I ran the program on my printer (Color Laser Jet 2605dn) and they offered $18 for it in good shape, and $28 in excellent shape. I could probably get $75 or $100 for it on Craigslist. Using HP’s service is obviously the easier choice, but if you’re looking to make as much for it as possible, do it yourself!
Be sure to read the fine print after receiving a quote to recycle or sell, that’s where the instructions are for getting everything taken care of, and it’s very wordy! They certainly could have made that easier.
Don’t forget that there are tons of electronic recycling centers all around the country, and there is probably one in your area. These places will accept whatever you have to recycle, no questions asked. Almost always these will recycle your printer for free, no matter what brand it is!
HP makes their printer recycling as easy as it can be for working directly with a big company like that, but it might be more profitable and easy to take care of it yourself locally. It’s perfect if you don’t want to leave your house!
