Rapid Refill was founded on recycling and preserving our environment

The first Rapid Refill store was founded on the idea that we could turn used, empty inkjet and toner cartridges into useable products for our customers, all while saving them a lot of money. A great idea then and an even better idea today. While our business has certainly grown to many new products and services spanning over 100 stores across the country, our belief in recycling is still put to work every day.

There is no doubt that “green” is the new black in the business world today. But recycling is more than a slogan, color-scheme or clever advertisement. At Rapid Refill, recycling is real. In fact, it is at the very center of what we do and who we are.

Each Rapid Refill store collects used, empty inkjet and toner cartridges, saving them from the fate of a landfill. Many cartridges that aren't returned to companies like Rapid Refill for recycling end up on a barge to a third-world nation to be incinerated or placed in landfills — dumping a countless amount of pollutants into the environment.

Plus, every cartridge refilled by Rapid Refill is one less new cartridge that has to be manufactured using polluting petroleum products.

Rapid Refill looks to make our community a cleaner place to live. Join the fight against pollution and waste, request a Rapid Refill Cartridge Recycling Bin — you can reduce landfill waste and pollution, plus raise money for your favorite charity or community organization.
