Donate Empties
Our charity collection programs give you the opportunity of financially helping some great charities without you actually having to give a penny! We offer a free of charge collection service for mobile phones and used toner and ink cartridges, which when received will raise money for our supported charities.
Why choose Takeback?
We are long established collectors of empty ink cartridges. We specialise in collecting these cartridges and mobile phones from businesses, schools, scout/guide groups, stationery/computer dealers and many other industry sectors throughout the UK. We have the national infrastructure to collect these cartridges and mobile phones quickly and effectively, and importantly also have the required waste licenses from the Environment Agency to allow us to do so.
We have worked in conjunction with many charities and have donated well needed funds to hundreds of different deserving causes. When you participate in our charity collection program, we will make a donation to our supported charities for the cartridges and phones that you return, and send you a certificate to confirm and thank you for your kind support along with a waste transfer note.

Packing Guidelines
Wherever possible, the best protection for a cartridge is to put it back in the original box that it was supplied in. Please remember, a damaged cartridge has no value, as its primal worth is in reuse, not recycling, so for us to receive them undamaged is paramount. more...
