Printer Cartridge Recycling

Printer cartridges can be dropped off for recycling at the following locations on campus:

• Bata Library, beside main entrance
• Blackburn Hall, in Physical Resources
• Champlain College, in Porter's lodge
• DNA-A, in main foyer
• Environmental Science Building, first floor in main stair case
• Otonabee College, outside of Porter's Office

Our printer cartridge recycling is facilitated on campus by Community Living's blueboxing@trent volunteer program. Volunteers collect printer cartridges from across campus, pack them up and ship them to Think Recycle's processing facility.  Each printer cartridge that is recycled generates a small donation to help support this important campus program. 

Since this program was established in 2007, we have recycled 420 cartridges raising $540.  This program has diverted 279Kg of waste from landfill and Think recycle has planted 17 trees in Trent's name based on the success of our program.
