Printer disposal FAQs

How can I remove (sanitise) my printer’s data before disposal?

Before disposing of any electronic device, it’s important to sanitise the data–even if you plan to use 1800-GOT-JUNK?. While printers aren’t computers, they can still retain information from previous print jobs.

Perform a factory reset on your printer to wipe its memory and remove any SD cards. For more detailed information on sanitising your printer, check out PaperCut’s guide to secure printer recycling.

After you’ve sanitized your data, 1800-GOT-JUNK? will happily pick up your printer and recycle it for you.
