Canon South Africa Recycling Program

Canon is deeply committed to environmental sustainability through its strict zero-waste-to-landfill policy. This commitment extends to all electronic and electrical equipment, including printer and camera hardware, power cables, and toner cartridges. Every returned product is either reused or recycled—whether repurposed as components in new devices, transformed into raw materials for other industries, or used as alternatives to fossil fuels. No part of any cartridge or device is sent to landfill, ensuring responsible resource management and contributing to a more sustainable future.

Our drop-off sites for used cartridges, toners, hardware and electronic cables

Canon’s recycling programme for toner, cartridges, hardware, and electronic equipment offers a free, convenient, and environmentally responsible way to dispose of used Canon products. Did you know that Canon has been operating a cartridge recycling programme since 1990?
