TONER CARTRIDGES - 1930.14

In accordance with Public Contract Code, Section 12156(c), it is unlawful to prohibit a printer or duplication cartridge that is sold to the State from being recycled or remanufactured, except as specified in subdivision (b). Department of General Services (DGS)’s toner cartridge purchasing contracts require the vendor to provide recycling boxes for toner cartridges to each State agency once they place an order. Once the box is full, the ordering agency should seal the box and contact the contractor’s take back contact person to arrange for pickup replacement with an empty recycling box. For remote locations, the contractor will provide a recycling box with a prepaid shipping label. Ordering agencies may contact the contractor’s take back contact person to arrange for a shipping pick-up. To purchase high quality low-cost remanufactured toner cartridges, obtain a copy of the current contract available from DGS.
