eCycle Group: Program Update

If you have an eCycle Group recycling account, we have an update for you. Due to a shift in ownership, checks older than 6 months are no longer redeemable. Thank you and we apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

The eCycle Group recycling center has moved!

Our recycling center is now based in Erie, Pennsylvania. What does that mean for you? You can continue to ship your items to eCycle and get paid quickly! There are a few program changes that affect you:

We are now shipping with UPS
Free shipping is now provided by UPS. Please contact our customer service department to order labels at 1-866-377-7575 or info@ecyclegroup.com.

Please DO NOT use any FedEx labels you have. Contact us to get UPS labels.

You’ll be paid faster
Payments are made weekly. Once your shipment is received and processed, payment will be sent via check within seven days. There is a $25 minimum value for a check to be issued.

Free collection boxes
You will no longer be asked to pay a deposit for collection boxes! They can be requested free-of-charge from customer service by calling 1-866-377-7575 or info@ecyclegroup.com.

No more checklists
We no longer require you to send a list of items contained in your shipment. Our warehouse staff carefully goes through your shipment to determine which items qualify for payment, making things easier for you!

Continue to collect the same items
Inkjet and laser/toner cartridges and cell phones will still be collected. We accept new/surplus cartridges, but there is no longer a bonus paid for these items. Damaged or previously remanufactured cartridges will be responsibly recycled.

Updated packing instructions
Inkjet: eCycle now requests that you do not individually wrap inkjet cartridges UNLESS you are shipping them with other items, such as cell phones.
Laser/Toner: Please REMOVE these cartridges from their original packaging. Wrap them in newspaper or bubble wrap to protect them during shipping.
Cell phones: Phones can be shipped unwrapped and packed securely.

Remember to fill any remaining space with newspaper to prevent movement during shipping.

Recycle Ink Cartridges as a Fundraiser

Do you keep getting asked to put together one fundraiser after another trying to collect the money your church needs to pay for the new choir robe or perhaps take care of some much needed repairs? If so, perhaps you need to take a new approach to your fundraising efforts. For a new way to raise money talk to your congregation about our program to recycle ink cartridges, we pay you in cash for every cartridge you send in.

At eCycle Group we recycle ink cartridges and offer them for resale. To do this we must have a constant supply of used empty cartridges to work with. All we ask is that you make sure that the ones you have are on our list, not broken or damaged and have never been refilled. By working with your congregation and local businesses, you may find that this is the ultimate fundraiser and takes the least amount of work.

Help Your Local 4H Club with a Printer Cartridge Recycling Program

The 4H Club program is one that is designed to help children learn a variety of skills that will help them to succeed in the future. However, as with most of these programs, you will find that they are always in need of extra funds that they cannot seem to raise by themselves. If you are interested in helping out, you should consider a printer cartridge recycling program.

At eCycle Group we can provide you with printer cartridge recycling collection boxes that you can place in various locations around town. We also offer a variety of downloadable templates for posters that you can print to help raise awareness of what you are doing. Every time you collect 20 of the cartridges listed on our site, we will you a check to put towards helping your local 4H Club raise the money they need.

Empty Toner Cartridges Spell Money

While you may not be able to print any more with an empty toner cartridge, you can still use them to spell cash money for your office or favorite charity.  Rather than throwing those old cartridges in the trash where they will end up in the landfill, you can collect ten of them together and then send them to eCycle Group and we will pay you for them.

We accept only those empty toner cartridges that have not been previously refilled and are not broken or damaged in any way. If you are not sure which cartridges we buy, you will find a complete list of those we buy on our web site. This list will also tell you how much we are willing to pay for each cartridge, this way you can see what your cartridges will be worth as an added incentive to save them instead of throwing them away.
