Dell Offers Curbside Computer Recycling

Posted by timothy on from the new-source-of-ram-and-old-hard-drives dept.

schm00 writes "A Dell press release today announced an expansion of thier recycling program. For $15 they will arrange to pick up used computer equipment from your home and transport it to an EPA approved recycler. You can order pickup starting on March 25th. It's nice to see an alternative to the darker side of computer recycling."

    Recycling and hydrogen fuel enhancements to follow the Iraq news.

    Seriously, this is a nice item. I see so many computers go into the dumpster at work, especially when changing offices.

    All of my used computers are riddled with bullet holes. Will you still take them back?

    Sincerely,

    So long as they're within the last 5 years or so. I figure I could handle about 500 of them?
