I think there is some confusion here. This is a seperate program that does not require the $50 ink / toner spend every 180 days. So you do not have to do that part, but if you are asking will you get $10 to recycle a print cartridge, I doubt it. You would need to bring in the printer for $10.

The "rewards" generated from this program are "instore" use only. Also when I drop off my recycling there might be a same day only $10 off $30 coupon generated at the counter with the typical exclusions, but you might snag a deal on some clearance item or a case of paper.. IDK.. Just look at your receipt for any offers before you leave.

As far as I know $2 Ink / Toner recycling is unchanged. You now need to spend $50 on Ink / Toner every 180 days. You get $2 ea. Regular members can recycle 10 per month. Plus members 20 per month. The rewards are spendable in store and online.

they bring your important paper bag to the back of the store. with the promise that its for their professional shredder to take care of them later. yeah. like you would trust them to leave that bag to the "professionals" in the back. they dont have any instore shredders for that purpose.

I do whenever I can combine purchase ink with some rewards back or coupon or both.

Idk how to feel about this.

The Brother Printer pictured on this deal thumbnail looks identical to my MFC-J425W, which has to be at least 10 years old by now.

It still works fine (for an inkjet from 10 years ago) considering I've only bought off-brand in cartridges off Amazon. Staples making me feel old though and it feels bad.

$10 for 1 tech item recycled, $2 per ink/toner cartridge (limit is either 10 or 20 depending on your status)

If they use a third party shredding service, there's probably a one-way locked bin they dump the paper into. Shredding service truck shows up once a week/month, unlocks the bin, transfers it to another locked bin, takes it back to their facility, and shreds it. No different than the typical shredding service that would be used at any medium to large sized office business. If you're a home/small business, just buy a shredder and do it yourself. If you're a mid to large sized business, set up a shredding service and cut out the middleman.

Back before I switched to laser printers and refilling inkjet carts, I would save up 20 used carts and use the reward to buy another set, but otherwise just get them from whatever source is cheapest.

What ever completed rewards activity you did today will not be available to use until the second thursday of the next mont. In this case Feb 9.

Always get a paper and emailed receipt. Always check your receipt for the corect # of cartridges and or the coupon # is added for the tech recycling before leaving the store. If you need to call CS you will need that receipt number. After a few days you should be able to see the transaction in the "your orders" section. Be sure to check your "in Store" activity to see if that receipt # shows up. If they do not after 3 days enter it manually from your in store receipt..

Thanks. Not a big deal, but I'll keep an eye on it. I don't think the tech new about the promo. I mentioned it, but I did not provide a coupon number. I did get a receipt. Honestly, I was going there this week anyway to get rid of some old stuff. I'm actually pretty grateful they do this as it's not easy to find a place that recycles electronics near me.

I have been shopping at Staples for a decade now and have seen them close all but 1 store in MN. If you get to the store and they won't take your recycling, the store will be closing very soon (1 month). Within the last 2 years all but one store in MN is left.

I recommend recycling before that sign goes up.

I wont be renewing my plus membership without a local store. Use this deal while you can.

Sounds great if you have a local store. Unfortunately any savings would be spent in gas driving more than an hour each way. Would really like to see them open a location near me.

I just recycle e-waste on 1/2 for $5 offer

can I do one more to make it to $10?
I have the same question. Does anybody know?

Do I need to recycle another item to get $10 rather than $5, or will I already be getting $10, based on tech recycling on Jan 2?

I've been recycling ink there for a decade, and the $5/month tech recycling since that started. No questions about those things.​

My experience when they ran a bonus offer on the ink recycling later in the month and I had already recycled but then tried recycling again to get the bonus, is that I hit the limit with my non-bonus recycle and the 2nd time I recycled was just wasted. I would expect the same for the tech recycling.

Dang, I was getting the 1-day 10/30 every single time I recycled in the past few months, but then planned to use it today and it didn't print out. Frown
