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."

  1. recycling? how? by newsdee · · Score: 1, Redundant

    What happens to the old computers when you give them to Dell? Do they just give them away for charity, or they really dissasemble them to reuse different materials?

    If it turns out they ship them abroad for dumping, it's not much of a difference...
