Info wanted on HP Laserjet toner recharging/recycling

I have an HP Laserjet II printer and the toner is getting low.
What are my options?  I found one company which would come out
and pick up the old cartridge, recharge it, and replace it the
next day for $59 first time, $49 next 5 times (Laser Recharge of
Carolina, 467-5902).  This seems a little steep, though I've
heard new cartriges are in the $75 range.  I need to do something
fairly quickly since I can see faded areas on the page.

Thanks for any info.

Actually, this doesn't sound like too bad of a price, Ed.  However, 
if they just pick up the old one and replace it, are they going
to clean the printer?  I've discovered that although recycling the
old toner cartridges is the environmentally correct thing to do, the
recycled cartridge that is installed isn't as good as a brand new one.
I would advise you to purchase from a company that will sell you new
cartridges, and give you credit for your old one.  Most I have 
seen will give you a $15 credit for your old cartridge toward the
purchase of a new one.

When you buy a new Hewlett-Packard toner cartridge, you put your old
one in the box and an enclosed UPS pickup sticker on the outside.
Then your old one gets recycled.  They don't pay you anything for the
old one, but then again it doesn't cost you to have it recycled.
