Just switched up to an Epson 3800. I have many empty R2400 carts. Is 
there any place to actually recycle these? Old rumours are that Epson 
simply burns ones returned to them.

Thanks for any help

Scott--
All the info I have suggests that Epson does indeed deliver them to a
garbage burning plant (I have a response from Epson from within the last
year, so I'm afraid the rumours are not that old). You might want to check
to see if anyone on list is near you...they may want the carts to use for
refilling or at least for the chips. And, speaking of chips, if you do toss
the carts, at least pull the chips and bring to an electronics recycler.
Current thinking is that anything with a chip of any sort should *not* go to
a landfill or burn plant.

You might want to check with a post office, Scott; I think they used  
to collect used ink-jet carts in their lobbies, in which case, I'm  
guessing they still do.
