Computer recycling made easy
June 29th, 2006
For about a year now, my old Dell laptop has been gathering dust in the closet, while the phrase “recycle laptop” has haunted my to-do list. Now, thanks to Dell’s new recycling initiative, which I just read about on Treehugger, I’m finally gonna take the plunge. You can too, whether you have a Dell or any old computer that needs recycling. Just visit the recycling section of Dell’s website and check out the information on Recycling at Any Time. For just $10, Dell will send you a prepaid, pre-addressed airbill, and you just pack up your computer (with the files cleared off, of course) and send it back. It’s so easy I no longer have an excuse to procrastinate.
Now I just need to find some good disk-erasing software. Stay tuned.

This is good news. I have a few computers in my garage.

If they’re seroius, that is good news, though I’m skeptical—how do I know they’re not just shipping it somewhere where it is cheaper and less regulated for them to dump it?
