Dell Launches Free PC Recycling

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Friday September 29, 2006 @01:49PM from the there-should-be-free-as-in-beer-recycling dept.

digihome writes to mention the implementation of a free PC recycling service for all systems sold by the company. From the article: "The no-charge home pickup program was announced in June. Dell already offers similar programs in Europe and Canada. After enduring tough criticism over the years from environmental groups, tech companies have started offering more ways for consumers to properly dispose of computer gadgets and to conserve electricity while using computer gear. Among tech companies, environmental advocacy group Greenpeace has singled out Dell and mobile-phone maker Nokia for their ecologically conscientious policies."

Now, it would be great if they offered to pick up non-Dell computers too when you make a purhase and want to get rid of the old stuff.

They do. It's part of the old program that has been around a few years. You can still do that. This just adds free recycling of Dell computers with no purchase necessary.
