Best way of disposing with an old printer?

We generally strip it of useful sellable parts and then throw it in the alley way. It's usually gone within a few hours.

most companies have a buy-back program when you buy a "new" machine

if you are still using this model, strip it of the consumable parts

donate to your local tech school, they are always looking for items to train on, mechanical or circuitry

Before printers were all machine parts and whatnot, there were people who did the printing by hand....... This is what they did t ba-a-a-ad printers.

Be careful, it's a little graphic............ no pun intended.

When we take one back, we e strip out the electronics and ink system and take the rest to the metal recycler down the road and get a pizza with the money.
