Our campus goes through thousands of printer toner cartridges each year, and due to residual toner chemicals, they should not be thrown away in the regular waste stream. To provide a safe method for disposing of used toner cartridges, Sustainability, Safety & Risk Management, Support Services and Capital Planning and Facilities Management have developed a simple guide for removal from campus.
There are two types of printer toner cartridges used on campus. Large toner cartridges for large printers/copiers (laser jet) and small ink cartridges for desk printers (ink jet).
For questions, please email risk@csustan.edu.

PLEASE NOTE: These larger toner cartridges can only be dropped off at shipping/receiving (Corp Yard) or you can call Capital Planning and Facilities Management for pick-up.
These directions pertain to the toner cartridges from large printer/copiers.
- Remove empty printer toner from printer.
- Remove new printer toner from box and install in printer;
- Place empty printer toner cartridge into replacement cartridge box;
- Clearly mark the box as "Used Toner" and drop off at the mail room or shipping and receiving. Do not leave the toners in the hallway, in front of recycle bins or campus mailboxes.
- If you do not have a new printer toner box available, you may put the toner cartridges in a different box. The empty toner must be in a box to avoid ink spillage onto carpet, clothes, furniture, etc.
PLEASE NOTE: These bins should be used for the small ink cartridges for desk printers. Large Toner cartridges should not be placed in these bins. Location "drop off points" for each major building are listed below.
Used cartridge bins will be emptied on a regular basis by Capital Planning and Facilities Management and stored in the shipping and receiving warehouse until ready to be shipped to a recycling company.
