Your SCISWA Quick Tip
Business & Special Recycling - Miscellaneous
Toner cartridges
Many toner cartridges for laser printers or copy machines can be recycled or "recharged." Check with the place where you buy your toner to see if you can return empty cartridges. Or check with computer or office supply stores or with the manufacturer.
Plastic Grocery Bags
Most larger grocery stores take back plastic grocery bags for recycling. Look for a special container where the bags are collected or ask a store employee if they recycle plastic bags.
