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 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.
My local store doesn't take tech recycling from time to time because "the recycling is full," even for something as small as a AAA rechargeable battery. Pretty annoying. But not a sign they're closing in my experience unless you see an actual sign about it.

I'm getting out of the ink cartridge recycling game anyways, with the minimum ink purchase requirement having gone up, empty ink costs going up significantly since COVID, and the coupons being worse than years ago to offset their inflated prices.

Well we both would agree, recycle today if you can.

You know your story has me giggling.. How many times have you gone to a store and they are out of what you came for and you are bringing them stuff! go figure..

Grabbed a router my neighbor had out at the curb yesterday and brought it in to my local Staples earlier this afternoon. Free $10! Winning!

$10 for 1 tech item recycled, $2 per ink/toner cartridge (limit is either 10 or 20 depending on your status)
So the limit is 10 tech items or $10 in total rewards?

Should. "Adapters , cables" is on the list and I've done it before with both a USB cable and power cable.

Yes, but to be clear, they give $2 rewards for each old inkjet cartridge,. Up to $20 for regular members or $40 for plus/premiere members. Those rewards are also usable online. You also have to buy $50 worth of ink/ toner to be eligible for cartridge recycling for 180 days.
These $10 rewards are for shredding or electronics recycling, not cartridges, and only usable in-store.
EDIT: Someone else responded that DO accept cartridges for the $10 tech recycling, but I imagine that would depend on the store as they're not specifically on the list.

They recycle for free, but do have a limit (per visit? per month?). They GIVE you $10 in rewards towards a future purchase for ONE item per month. It was just $5 previously, so might go back to that after this month.
I have some laser printer cartridges to recycle. About 4-5. So I wont get $2/ cartridge if I haven't purchased $50 worth of ink/toner in the last 180 days? ughh!!

I would look to OD/OM 100% back in rewards battery deal then combined with your ink recycling. You could still do the tech recycling at Staples with out the $50 in 180 days though..

You are making the assumption that they live anywhere near an OD/OM. There are numerous states (especially in the East) where there is not a single OD/OM anymore.

I see.. I guess the "Microcenter" like thumbs down are going to start flying on any od/om, and Staples deals. In my case there are 9 od/om stores in MPLS and now down to one Staples and I kind of doubt it will be around by the end of the year.. I will be letting my plus and $50/180 days to recycle die in the next few months.. I can read the writing on the wall.. Actually when they announced that they would stop paying rent for stores during covid, that it took this long to get evicted. When I ask why a Staples store is closing, the response is the lease..

yes, the 10 off 30 is just a coupon to use on the day you recycle, the other is $10 reward credit usually don't expire for 30 days after issue in your account next month
