Printer Recycling

Old printers can’t go in the trash. In Illinois, they’re banned from landfills entirely. CJD E-Cycling accepts inkjet, laser, and all-in-one printers for responsible e-waste recycling at our Edwardsville, IL facility. Drop-off is free for most residential customers. Businesses with higher volumes can request a commercial pickup.

Printers We Accept and How the Process Works

Printer disposal isn’t as simple as breaking down a cardboard box. Every unit contains circuit boards, metal components, plastic housing, and residual ink or toner that require careful handling to keep out of soil and groundwater. At CJD E-Cycling, we process all accepted printers through our R2v3 certified facility, recovering materials responsibly and keeping them out of Illinois landfills.

We accept:

  • Inkjet printers
  • Laser printers
  • All-in-one printers (print, scan, and copy)
  • Multifunction office copiers
  • Fax machines and standalone scanners

Our drive-thru drop-off is open Monday through Friday from 9am to 4:30pm and Saturday from 9am to 1pm. No appointment is needed for residential customers. See the full list of accepted electronics on our electronic recycling page.

  • Residential Drop-Off

    If you have one or a few printers to recycle, drive to our Edwardsville location at 5257 N IL-157. Pull through our drive-thru and our team handles everything from there. No forms, no scheduling.

  • Commercial and Office Pickup

    Managing office equipment recycling for a business, IT department, or facility? We come to you. Our tailored pickup service is available for organizations with sufficient volume. We coordinate the logistics, handle the loading, and make sure every unit is processed through our certified downstream network.

Retiring a Fleet of Printers?

Office clean-outs and IT refreshes generate more printer waste than most teams expect. CJD E-Cycling handles bulk pickup and printer recycling so your team doesn’t have to sort, store, or haul old equipment. Tell us what you have and where, and we handle the rest.

Can You Get Paid for Old Printers?

Some commercial printing and office equipment contains metal components and circuit boards that carry real value as e-scrap. If you’re retiring a large volume of equipment, it may be worth more than a standard drop-off. Review our electronic scrap purchasing page to learn what qualifies and how our pricing works.
