Dell to offer free recycling for products
Consumers wanting to ditch old printers, personal computers or other electronics gear made by Dell Inc. will soon be able to recycle them for free, chairman Michael Dell announced Wednesday. Dell gets the thumbs up from LR on this move torwards being green!
“We don’t think the consumer should have to pay for the responsible retirement of used computer equipment,” Dell said. The new recycling policy, already available in Europe, is slated to launch in the United States by September and the rest of the world by November. Industrywide, companies have begun adopting more affordable recycling policies to prevent cadmium, mercury and lead and other hazardous materials contained in many electronics from ending up in landfills as so-called “e-waste.”
