CompTIA A+ 220-1102 Practice Question

The correct answer is to recycle the toner cartridges through the manufacturer's recycling program. Many printer manufacturers offer free recycling programs for their toner cartridges. This is the most environmentally responsible option, as it allows for the proper handling of potentially harmful materials and the reuse of recyclable components.

Throwing toner cartridges in the regular trash is incorrect and potentially harmful to the environment, as toner contains materials that can be toxic if not disposed of properly. Burning the cartridges is extremely dangerous and illegal in most jurisdictions due to the release of toxic fumes. Storing them indefinitely is not a solution and wastes valuable office space while potentially creating a safety hazard.
