Inkjet brokers just can't get enough recycling inkjet cartridges fast enough to supply the many recyclers that are starting up. They have to rely on people like you and me to keep them supplied.
However they do not buy just any cartridge. They are mostly interested in recycling those inkjet cartridges that contain printheads, like HP, Lexmark, Dell, Some Canon, Apple, Some Brother,Sharp and some older Xerox cartridges.
The reason is because cartridges without printheads are just ink tanks, i.e.the print head is permanently mounted in the printer, and they are cheap for the generic market to reproduce. Therefor is no profit in commercially recycling them.
In order to keep the highest quality, they are mostly interested in recycling virgin inkjet cartridges, those that have never been refilled. You may find some companies buying once refilled cartridges but at a much lower price. Many will just tell you up front that they only want virgin cartridges.
These recycling inkjet cartridge buyers are easy to find. Just do a Google search.
