Photocopier Toner Bottle Recycling

Ricoh Canada collects and recycles the toner bottles used in their photocopiers as part of its contract with the TDSB.

To support this process Ricoh Canada provides TDSB schools and centres with toner boxes for collection of the empty toner bottles.

Note: The dimensions of the boxes are: 36" L x 29" W x 1 0"D. They can hold approximately 40-50 empty toner cartridges.

Please follow these steps:

Contact Ricoh Canada at 1-800-267-9469 or email canadasupplies@ricoh.ca and request a Ricoh toner box, part #TNRRTNBOX.
Set-up the Ricoh Toner box in a convenient location.

Note: Full boxes will need to be picked up in the office.

Collect your empty Ricoh toner bottles and place them in the collection box.
Once the box is full go to the Ricoh recycling page and complete the Online Courier Label. (Enter the school name, address, phone number and weight), print the courier label, and affix it to the toner box

Note: Do not photocopy the label - it has a unique barcode attached to it and is good for only one parcel return item. If you require a second label, simply click "generate label" again for a new label.

Call Purolator at 1-888-744-7123 to pick up your box(es) of empty toner bottles.
Have the box(es) of empty toner bottles ready for pick-up at the main office.
