A pile of empty BCI6 ink cartridges

I have two bags of empty BCI6 series cartridges which I exhausted on my current i9900 printer, and a now gone i950.

I have never seen anything indicating that Canon recycles these, although I do see notices on the return value of HP inkjet cartridges.

Whether Canon pays the consumer for recycled Canon cartridges is one thing. But if Canon does not offer any means of recycling their inkjet cartridges at all, they are being irresponsible, and should recieve some public rebuke. If they do, and I am just ignorant, I apologize. I use all Canon dslr's, P&S cameras, lenses, and printers, so I make a dramatic understatement when saying that I support Canon.

Thanks for any info.
