Does Staples recycle printers?

Yes. Staples currently lists printers and multifunction devices for recycling, but they are fee items with listed exceptions in California, Connecticut, Illinois, North Carolina, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island. Floor-model printers and copiers are excluded from its electronics eligibility FAQ, so check the current Staples list and your store’s terms before traveling. Printer cartridges are handled through a separate program.

Check the printer type first

Identify whether you have a desktop printer, multifunction device or floor-standing machine before visiting. Staples’ electronics FAQ excludes floor-model printers and copiers. Check the current store program for the exact device and state; cartridge recycling is a separate service.

For a household printer outside this program, check Best Buy printer-recycling eligibility.
