Dell Recycling Program Begins
Posted on Sep 29 2006 in Dell.
Today Dell began their recycling program where they will pick up your old computers or peripherals from your house. If you purchase a Dell computer or laptop, they will pick up your old computer and monitor for free, even if it isn’t Dell brand. This is pretty convenient, since getting rid of a computer or monitor can be a pain sometimes, since they can be considering hazardous waste. Since Dell is one of the biggest contributors to computer-related waste, it’s good to see that they are taking a step in the right direction.
By the way - don’t bother recycling ink cartridges or toner with them. Let us handle that.

I read somewhere that 65 million computers will be thrown away in 2006, and that each of these computers is filled with hazardous materials such as lead, mercury, and cadmuim. If we just throw used computer equipment in to the trash, without disposing of it properly our land and water ways will become polluted with these toxins.
I think it is great to see Dell doing something to help the environment. The sell so many computers and potentially create so much waste in doing so that to initiate a program like this is wonderful. It is a credit to them.
