I have bought recyclable Ink Cartridges from ebay in the past.
I think if you buy £20 worth of cartridges, that converts to £60 in vouchers. Worth looking into.

Can you explain this in a little more detail?

I think you used to be able to recycle ink cartridges at
Tesco and get points for them. People found a glitch, which was to buy used ink cartridges cheaply on eBay, then 'recycle' them at Tescos, making a 'profit' in Clubcard points. There were envelopes you could get in Tesco to post them off, and they accepted any cartridges and paid a couple of quids worth of points for each one.

It's been tightened up now, there is a list of acceptable cartridges and you get 125 green points, which go to a nominated charity. You can request 50% of the points, so 60p worth of points per cartridge, but you have to post them, and can only post max 1kg. All a bit of a faff to try and make any significant amount of profit out of it. Unless you really have nothing better to do with your time!
