We guess it's not so easy anymore to turn in your toner cartridges at Staples Office Superstore.
Not a surprise, the Framingham, MA-based company announced this month they are redefining their, um, commitment to the environment. As we saw in the Wilshire Boulevard location in Santa Monica, the new $3 recycling offer now applies to Lexmark, Hewlett Packard HP and Dell-produced cartridges only.
We tried to turn-in a cartridge earlier this week to the Burbank location (near the Disney Lot) and they ran out of coupons. I guess a commitment to the environment has to be fiscally agreeable. As a professional organizer, we encourage recycling, and this isn't going to make our life any easier. Some clients, not all, want to recycle, and Staples has been a good source for them to help the environment and feel better about their unused clutter going to a good cause.
