You can help a lot of charities by sending used printer cartridges. I have just listed a few of them:
Give £1 to Oxfam for each inkjet cartridge recycled:

(unfortunately the Oxfam scheme is unable to recycle Epson inkjet cartridges)
==================================================
Every time you donate a used printer cartridge RNIB will receive around £2 to help fund their vital work.

(most inkjet cartridges are recyclable but unfortunately not Epson inkjet cartridges)
==================================================
Give £1 to Cancer Research UK for each inkjet cartridge recycled:
http://www.laserxchange.co.uk/Chargimp.htm
Each recyclable cartridge will mean a donation to Cancer Research UK to support the doctors and scientists who work incredibly hard at Cancer Research UK to find answers to cancer by understanding the causes of cancer, learning how cancer can be prevented and by finding new treatments that will dramatically improve the quality of life for people with cancer.
(unfortunately the Cancer Research UK scheme is unable to recycle Epson inkjet cartridges)
==================================================
Give £1 to CLIC Sargent for each inkjet cartridge recycled:
http://www.clicsargent.org.uk/Getinvolved/Recyclewithus
This will enable them to continue to provide a range of services and support to children with cancer or leukaemia
=================================================
Give £1 to British Heart Foundation for each inkjet cartridge recycled:
http://www.laserxchange.co.uk/BHF.htm
The donations generated through their recycling fundraising scheme will help the British Heart Foundation get to the heart of the problem by conducting research into heart health, funding lifesaving equipment and providing the care, support and information heart patients and their families need.
(unfortunately the British Heart Foundation scheme is unable to recycle Epson inkjet cartridges)
==================================================
Give £1 to Coeliac UK for every empty Hewlett Packard or Lexmark printer cartridge recycled:
http://www.coeliac.co.uk/get_involved/fundraising/110.asp
Coeliac disease is caused by an intolerance to gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley and rye - some people with coeliac disease react to oats too - and can be treated by excluding gluten from the diet.
==================================================
Give to ActionAid Recycling. They give 80% of their profits to ActionAid, the charity who work with over 9 million of the world's poorest people:
