Goodwill Industries of San Francisco and Dell (NASDAQ:DELL) introduced the San Francisco Bay Area Computer Recycling Project, offering free recycling to residents of San Francisco, San Mateo and Marin counties. The pilot program offers drop-off recycling and reuse options for unwanted computers. The goal of this partnership is to divert at least one million pounds of used computers and computer equipment from landfills over one year and to provide education on the importance of proper computer disposal.
Residents can call 888-4-GOODWILL or 866-48 REUSE (73873), or visit www.computerrecyclingproject.com/sanfranciscobayarea, to learn about drop-off options for their unwanted computers and computer equipment at any of 14 convenient Goodwill locations participating.
Goodwill Industries of Central Texas partnered with Dell and the City of Austin, Texas, nine months ago to launch a similar pilot. Its success prompted Dell and Goodwill to implement a version of the program in the San Francisco Bay area.
Goodwill Industries of San Francisco will accept donated, residential computer equipment. The unwanted computers will be collected by Goodwill. Materials with remaining value will be separated and enter Dell’s Asset Recovery Services value-recovery processes. Proceeds from equipment recovery will be returned to Goodwill Industries of San Francisco for re-investment in a variety of job-creation and community programs. Materials without resale value will be recycled. Responsible recycling will be handled by Electronic Partners Corporation (ePC) under stringent Dell guidelines. ePC is a part of Chasm Industries, a firm that specializes in electronic asset management and recycling services.
Residents are responsible for removing their data from hard drives and other storage media before collection.
