I work at a law office and we have a bunch of HP printers. With a bunch of HP printers comes a lot of empty ink cartridges they have a box full of them and I would much rather find a way to recycle them all at once than to send a handful in at a time. Is there someone I can talk to about this. As I cannot find a way to email someone about this issue.
