Staples reward members (free to join) can get free 1,000 Staples easy rewards points = $5 Staples rewards for recycling any tech, batteries, phone cases and more, in-store or online, but I guess in-store will be credited the month after vs. online which could take up to 60 days. I got it on me and my wife's accounts but possibly YMMV? Expires 3/2/2024.

$5 is probably not worth it for a trip to the store alone but for people who are still doing monthly ink recycles, it's an added bonus I guess.

1,000 Reward Pts

This is nothing new, its been going for 6+ months but they changed it to points versus expiring coupons. Also the ink rewards have been cut in half offering only $20 in points versus $40
This new points system basically is a 50% reduction from the old rewards plan with the exception of this battery promotion giving 1000 points instead of 500 points ($2.50).

I usually just recycle like a single AA or AAA battery a month
Last year they ran a recycling promo for 3 months that gave $10 credit for tech (one item per month). At the time, I didn't need anything so I redeemed my $30 in credits for school supplies that I donated to a school program. I wish they would bring that promo back.
I had nothing but problems with that. They dont go bu the date it was delivered to them via the ups tracking, they go by when the open the box. If they dont get to it before the month , they will count it for the next month. If you dont know know when they open the box and say you ship March recycling in on the first of march, you will loose those credits. Also in the past, I took pictures of the shipping lable next to the open shipping box that had neatly stacked and countable cartridges in plain view only to get credit for a few of the 20 cartridges I mailed in.

Unless something has drasticaly changed, I recomend bringing them to the store. At the counter choose both e-mail and printed reciepts so you KNOW they are not going to say they never got it and if they do you have proof.

I stopped shipping the recycling because it is too much a pain in the arse to call chat with them in corecting their error.

I asked on Staples LIVE Chat about about the technology promotion is going to be available for April. The response:
"For the new Easy rewards program the promotions are personalize. Right now we do not have an update for the offer for recycling rewards. But you may check your account."

So, some of us might be able to, other may not. Kinda like the old Plus/Premium members, they were grandfathered in and allow to recycle 20/month still

Too bad it appears that Staples does not accept bulbs for its recycling program.

Where does the program stand as of today? I would like to open an account as our recent spring cleaning resulted in a lot of tech items that I can recycle. Old monitors, keyboards, mice, radios, home phones, etc. What do I get for installing the app?

I didn't check the app before recycling ink yesterday, but I'm thinking the technology recycling offer was added at some point.

I was lucky, I think the cashier misheard when I said I had 20 ink, and actually entered "28". So the first ink was credited towards tech recycling offer, and the other 27 inks towards ink recycling. Since I'm Plus, I only got credit for 20 inks, but regardless I got my full 9000 points for the month.
