Recycling of Empty Toner and Inkjet Cartridges

The USPS® BlueEarth™ Federal Recycling Program is the U.S. Postal Service® resource for recycling all empty toner and inkjet cartridges. This saves the Postal Service™ money and retains revenue.

For ALL empty toner and inkjet recycling returns, use the USPS BlueEarth Federal Recycling Program at http://BlueEarth.usps.gov.

Do NOT photocopy the labels. A new label must be generated for each shipment. Do not use the UPS label included in the new cartridge box.

Tips for Printing a Return Label:

Printing a return label with USPS BlueEarth takes only a minute — it’s quick, easy, and convenient:

1. Enter your information at http://BlueEarth.usps.gov.

2. Print the label.

3. Pack cartridge(s) in the box.

4. Mail the package.

If the label does not print, it is generally because the return address does not match what is showing in the Address Management System. To correct, please click on the Look Up a ZIP Code™ link at https://tools.usps.com/go/ZipLookupAction_input.

Contact the Asset Accountability Service Center (AASC) in your Area if additional guidance is needed. Contact information is on the AASC website at http://blue.usps.gov/purchase/assetmgnt/am_aasc_home.htm.
