Hello,

a little topic how you can recycle your the waste ink collector

First of all put your safety gloves and glasses, be careful

First drill a hole at the left side, not to deep otherwise your drill bit will blocked in the inner layers
(take the drill bit from your hole saw)

I have take a 44 mm (1-3/4) hole saw
If you have a fine tooth hole saw it will be easier to drill the hole
don't let exceed the drill bit to far out of the hole saw
(drill bit can blocked in the inner layers)

Drill the hole and take a screwdriver to remove the plastic

with a pince long nose pliers put out the inner absorbent layers

there are 4 of them, be careful they are full of ink
