Recycling programes

In addition, to taking a lead in carbon off sets, Dell has one of the best recycling programes in the industry. The company announced a free recycling programme three years ago, and in June, it took it a step further. Today, you can send any Dell PC back to the company for recycling— without paying a penny. If you buy a new Dell, the company actually sends someone to pick up your old PC. Again, this is a free service, and your old PC doesn’t have to be a Dell. Right now, manufacturers such as HP and Apple are charging anywhere from $13 to $30 to dispose off your old computer. That’s just enough disincentive to ensure that most of those systems will ultimately end up in a landfill anyways.
