Printer Cartridge Recycling
Willen Hospice can now benefit from recycling printer cartridges. In partnership with EmptyCartridge Recycling Ltd a leading Recycling company, we have developed a scheme to turn your old mobile phones and empty printer cartridges into valuable funds to help continue our work.
Empty Cartridge Ltd will pay Willen Hospice for cartridges that you donate. So, instead of sending your spent cartridges to landfill why not do your bit for the environment and also help the Hospice.
How it works
Empty Cartridge Ltd is a private company which donates a percentage of its revenues from each re-sold cartridge to Willen Hospice.
Inkjet cartridges (though not epson inkjet cartridges), that fit in your hand, can raise the most money. Collections are free of charge.

Printer cartridges, in any quantity, may also be dropped off at any of our shops or our warehouse in Kiln Farm
Mobile ‘Phone Recycling
It is estimated that:
- the average mobile ‘phone user will replace their handset once every 18 months
- close to 90 million phones are hiding in drawers and cupboards across the UK (11250 tonnes) - these weigh almost six times as much as the London Eye.
Mobile ‘phones contain numerous substances which need to be disposed of in a safe and efficient manner.
We can help you dispose of your old mobile ‘phone in a safe and environmentally friendly way and you could help generate funds for Willen Hospice. These can be recycled through EmptyCartridge Ltd who will pay Willen Hospice for every ‘phone they receive.
If you only have small quantities of inkjet cartridges/mobile ‘phones they can be sent via our freepost address below:
