FAQ

Canon’s toner cartridge recycling programme allows customers from selected European countries to print a freepost e-Return label for the return and recycling of their empty genuine Canon toner cartridges.

In some countries customers can also arrange for delivery or collection of bulk toner cartridge collection boxes for recurring or large quantity returns.

Below you will find a selection of Frequently Asked Questions:

The e-return website is not appearing properly on my screen.

Why is my cartridge not on the list of accepted e-Returns?

Do Canon offer a recycling service for other consumable products (e.g. toner bottles or ink jet cartridges)?

Is there an easy way to return many cartridges at once?

I cannot find my country in the list, but I want to return my cartridge. How can you help me?

How do I clear my data from your system?

I am unable to view the label that I have been sent.

I am unable to print the label properly.

I receive an error message saying that the label has already been used.

Can I use each label more than once?

The e-return website is not appearing properly on my screen.

The toner cartridge recycling site is developed to work with current browser versions. This means Internet Explore 6 or newer, Firefox 3.5 or newer, Google Chrome and Safari 5 or newer. JavaScript support needs to be enabled. Other browsers are likely but not guaranteed to work.

If you are having technical problems generating a label, you may request a pre-printed label through our feedback form.

Why is my cartridge not on the list of accepted e-Returns?

The cartridge might not be a genuine Canon toner cartridge. If you are sure you have a genuine Canon toner cartridge that is not on the list please contact us through our feedback form quoting the cartridge model number. Canon will reply to you confirming whether your cartridge is suitable for recycling through this programme.

 Top

Do Canon offer a recycling service for other consumable products (e.g. toner bottles or ink jet cartridges)?

Canon does not offer a recycling service for  toner or developer units, toner bottles or other consumables for large format printers, GP, iR, iRC, NP and CLC copiers, or ink jet printers due to the adverse environmental impacts of shipping these items. Please therefore look to dispose or recycle these products as normal office waste locally.

 Top

Is there an easy way to return many cartridges at once?

Bulk toner cartridge return is available in a number of European countries; please check your local Canon website to see if the service is available. If your country currently does not offer bulk collections please check back regularly as we are developing new services all the time.

I cannot find my country in the list, but I want to return my cartridge. How can you help me?

Unfortunately we currently do not offer a toner recycling programme in your country. Please contact your local Canon dealer to see if programmes are offered locally.

How do I clear my data from your system?

If you wish your personal data to be removed from our system please contact us through our feedback form.

 Top

I am unable to view the label that I have been sent.

If you are unable to view the label, please install the latest version of Acrobat Reader. If this still does not work, please contact us through our feedback form.

 Top

I am unable to print the label properly.

If your label does not print out as it appears on screen, this might be due to your printer drivers. Please install the latest printer drivers and try again.

 Top

I receive an error message saying that the label has already been used.

Each postage label has a unique barcode that can only be used once. Once this barcode has been registered as used on our system the link will no longer be active. Please simply revisit the e-return site and request further labels.

 Top

Can I use each label more than once?

Each postage label can only be used once as each contains a unique barcode needed for postage.
