Waste Watch: Toner Cartridge Recycling

http://www.tylertalkstrash.com I've been hoarding toner cartridge waste for a while now, and I noticed the variety of ways that companies try to appear "green", or not at all. Greenwashing is a serious thing, and I'd like to get your mind in gear for spotting weak attempts to appear environmentally responsible.

What level of sustainable effort (or lack thereof) is acceptable to you? Let me know.

I get that dude all the time with regards to item X being recycled/reprocessed. I know it seems stupid to send something across the country.

However, when a product is trashed rather than recycled, energy is wasted during extraction of resources for the new product, even more so during processing and of course manufacturing, and also the transport of virgin materials to the manufacturing site.

question, what do you do about the dude who asks you "well isn't it more wasteful to ship the whole thing back across the country?" just curious. what someone with you're knowledge would say to that question?
