    How do I know whether I'm returning an ink cartridge or a toner cartridge?

    Each Original HP cartridge should indicate on the packaging whether it is an ink cartridge or LaserJet toner cartridge. Also, ink cartridges are smaller and squarer, whereas LaserJet cartridges are much longer in length.

    Do HP cartridges qualify for California's State Agency Buy Recycled Campaign (SABRC)?

    Yes, all Original HP LaserJet cartridges and most original HP ink cartridges (see a list of non-returnable supplies) are now classified as recycled products for the California State Agency Buy Recycled Campaign (SABRC) reporting. See list of SABRC qualified product numbers (PDF) and SABRC product certification letter (PDF).


    This is in accordance with the state statute, SB 1106, that went into effect on January 1, 2006. Since HP offers a free and convenient end-of-life return and recycling program to customers, these products now qualify as recycled products and can be included in state agencies' monthly totals of SABRC recycled product purchases. California state entities can take advantage of competitive pricing on a broad range of products, including all HP printer supplies, through the California Strategic Sourcing Initiative (CSSI) office supplies contract provided by the Department of General Services. HP printer supplies are also available from other office and computer products dealers across the state.
