Provided is a printer cartridge equipped with a magnetic wastebin-hopper coupling. A combination of magnets and magnetically attractive materials are mounted on the wastebin assembly (or photoconductor unit) and hopper assembly of the printer cartridge in order to bias the two assemblies together. This allows an end user to remove the hopper assembly from the wastebin assembly (or photoconductor unit) and replace the expelled hopper assembly without having to latch or unlatch any mechanisms.
