Good idea? Could be, but is this one of those company's that send you "Freepost" envelopes, that are made of plastic? Thereby creating more environmental damage. I know of a similar scheme run by PC World in the UK, they supply you with the "lovely" plastic bags. They also state, on the bags, only one cartridge per bag. I had about 50 cartridges with me! 50 plastic bags? I also seem to remember then reading something about them not accepting Epson cartridges, great! I now take my cartridges, with the rest of my recycling (paper, cardboard, bottles, cans, plastic bottles, aluminium foil, clothes, rags, books etc.), to Kentish Town (London) recycling depot, that has a container for them. I'm all for recycling, but only when done sensibly. I'd be interested to hear if anyone has used the scheme above, to confirm whether the envelopes they supply are plastic or not.
