*As of 2024, we do not have toner cartridge collection boxes installed.
This report concerns a used toner cartridge collection event held at the Faculty of Science.
I visited in four separate trips.
<Visit locations and collection record> 2008
① December 8th (Monday) – Building 6, Building 8, Former Cryogenic Liquefaction Center, Joint Experiment Building, Genetic Experiment Facility, Experimental Biology Center
Toner: 35, Cartridge: 240
② December 11th (Thursday) – Main Building, Building 4, Building 7
Toner: 57, Cartridge: 45
③ December 15th (Monday) – Building 2
Toner: 75, Cartridge: 41
④ December 18th (Thursday) – Building 5
Toner: 21, Cartridge: 264
We were able to collect a large number of toner cartridges each time.
Thank you very much to everyone in the Faculty of Science for your cooperation.
I would also like to express my gratitude to the administrative staff and support office staff who contacted each research lab in advance.
The toner cartridges collected this time, specifically those manufactured by Epson and Canon, will be responsibly converted into Bellmark points by the Women Researchers Support Office, with the cooperation of Hokkaido University Co-op.
We plan to use the converted Bell Marks, along with the points we have accumulated so far, to purchase science experiment equipment and donate it to junior high and high schools in Hokkaido.
Products from other manufacturers are handed over to recycling companies.
*Collection boxes for Epson and Canon toner cartridges are permanently located at the Hokkaido University Co-op.
Also, please contact us anytime and we'll come and pick it up for you.
