New cartridge refilling business opens in Anna

Cartridge World, the largest retailer of cartridge refilling services in the $60 billion printer cartridge industry, has announced the opening of its newest partnership with Postal Pal in Anna.

Postal Pal, located at 1155 E. Vienna St., entered into an agreement with Cartridge World in Carbondale in December to bring the cartridge refilling concept to consumers and businesses in the Anna community.

Consumers and businesses can drop off their cartridges for inkjet and laser printers, photocopy and fax machines to the Postal Pal store where they are refilled.

“People realize that buying a new printer cartridge is neither cost-effective nor environmentally friendly. The typical savings on our refill services is substantial versus the retail price of a new cartridge, and by recycling cartridges you can help protect our environment,” said Jim Prater, owner of the Anna Postal Pal store.

“Together, with these two strengths, we look forward to serving the Anna community.”

The service allows customers to refill their printer cartridges with significant savings over new cartridges. They get back the same printer cartridge model that they brought in, with a money back guarantee, for substantially less than buying a new cartridge, said Prater. Most popular models are on the shelf. Next day service is available for the majority of printer models.

Cartridge World estimates that it will keep 9 million cartridges out of landfills this year.
