Supplies & Maintenance

Most offices eventually end up with an awkward pile of empty toner cartridges, old drums, worn-out supplies, and sometimes even an outdated printer no one knows how to dispose of.

The problem is that toner cartridges are not like soda cans or cardboard boxes. Toner cartridges contain plastic, metal, electronic components, and leftover toner powder. So, most curbside recycling programs won’t be able to process them properly. If you throw toner cartridges away in a regular trash can, they can end up in landfills, where they’ll sit there for hundreds of years.

Thankfully, many businesses today are becoming more conscious of sustainability. Schools, healthcare organizations, law firms, and small businesses across North Texas are paying closer attention to their printing waste, energy use, and ways to improve environmentally responsible office practices.
