1. E. Bring it back to the store and put it in their toner recycling box when you buy the new one.
2. If you can refill it, go ahead and save $. I refilled brother hl-2040 cartridges for $5 (instead of $30+ for a remanufactured or $60 for new), HP 1018 for $10, and Ricoh CL1000N for $50 (instead of almost $200).
3. Actually if you have a Staples store anywhere near you, you can take it there and recycle it. They give you a $3 coupon that you can use towards anything there or on a new cartridge. Pretty good deal.
