Why You Need to Recycle Waste Materials
More than providing business owners with a no-brainer solution to office junk disposal, Little Miss Recycle in Austin, Texas goes the extra mile to promote green office practices. As we make our services conveniently available to more companies, we work harder to inform our customers about the long-term benefits of recycling.

- Ink and toner cartridges are made of plastic.
- More than a billion ink and toner cartridges are sold in the U.S. every year.
- Less than 20% of toner cartridges are recycled.
- Ink from used cartridges can pollute the environment.
- Every year, about 83% of all plastic waste ends up in landfills.
- It takes a little over 2 oz. of oil to make a new inkjet cartridge.
- Plastics can take over 1,000 years to decompose.
Recycle and Save
Recycle and Save
Not recycling makes hardworking people like you pay more taxes to keep landfill operations going. This can be burdensome for everyone. By recycling, companies can save on cost and energy. It takes significantly less money and energy to remanufacture cartridges than to produce new ones.
