Cartridge recovery

The cartridge recycling program, designed for both businesses and individuals across Canada, is a tangible way to support the environment while also backing Mira’s essential mission.

By taking part, you help protect the environment and fund the training of our Mira dogs—a simple action that creates a lasting impact.

The recovery process

Mira collects eligible laser and ink cartridges from businesses, individuals, and drop-off locations.

The cartridges are then transported to our sorting center in Neuville, where our warehouse team sorts them using our digital system.

Once sorted, they are sold to recycling partners, generating funds to support our organization.

Over the years, this initiative has helped divert tons of waste from landfills while actively supporting our mission.
