Ink -  what is it good for?  Documents, photos, even printing on fabric.  We use a lot of this stuff and we're left with a lot of empty cartridges which are made of 40% plastic, 40% metal, rubber, paper foam and toner.  We make choices about what to do - refill, recycle or throw cartridges away.  Just to make the last option less appealing, below are some places in the Lower Mainland where you can recycle cartridges.  Read more »
