Well... there’s a few ways.
You can turn them in at many office stores for a credit: usually $1 or $0.50.
You can sell them. There’s dozens of empty ink cartridge buyers on the internet. Most offer free shipping and a few cents to a dollar for cartridges.
You can strip the wire and/or contacts. For BoardSort The tiny gold contacts if cleanly cut can do with gold fingers (you need enough to make at least a few ounces so they can actually pay you). The headers with just a gold set of contact stripes on plastic can go with peripheral. Unfortunately the gold laminate wire is still mixed wire. See the gold laminate sticky.
Many yards (especially large ones) will buy them at some low or shred level if bagged and sorted.
You can refill them. I don’t suggest that though. I’ve never done it myself and I’ve had BRANDED high grade refills, refurbs, fail and leak. A quick way to trash your printer.
Ultimately you could recycle them. Just about every office and electronics store has a bin or desk to turn them in to.
On the other side TONER cartridges no matter how small can be resold easily.
Key note: if you ship ink cartridge please put them in a water proof bag first. Not a sandwich bag. There’s no P in mail. Don’t let your cartridges add some.
As always, thank you for the advise!
