Every office relies on toner cartridges, bottles, and drum units to keep printers and copiers running. Once these supplies are empty, they often become an afterthought. According to EcoTonerUSA, an estimated 375 million printer cartridges are discarded in the U.S. each year, and roughly 70% end up in landfills, adding to long-term waste and environmental impact. That focus on reducing waste is exactly why Sharp’s Stop Drop Recycle Program was created. It gives organizations a simple way to recycle every Sharp toner cartridge, bottle, and drum unit with one hundred percent zero waste to landfill. Instead of becoming trash, these everyday consumables are kept out of landfills and put back into responsible material recovery.
