As much as I like the penguy taking the pens off my hands (no-offense) - it still does not solve the problem at hand. I'll keep looking. I looked for Sammy Sweeny-did not find her.

As of today, he could not find any company in China who would be willing to recycle pens and refills. The annual consumption of pens and ink refills here are in the billion's each year. Any one has a solution, idea for this situation...really like to reach out to this courageous studen, who's monthly income is less than 100 UDS / month and let him know that our there in the western and developed world, there is a solution...and we can help him.

So if you order ten, that's $20 not counting taxes and shipping. I can go to my favorite store and buy a twelve-pack of these pens for $9.27. Unfortunately, I have to go for the affordable option - which is to chuck the used pens and buy new ones. I looked at Staples online for Pentel RSVP fine point black refills. $1.99 for two.
