Dell’s (NASDAQ:DELL) free recycling program for U.S. customers is available online today (Sept. 29). It includes home pick-up of used Dell-branded computers and peripheral equipment at no-charge. The service is not tied to a replacement purchase.
Customers enter a product identification number online and print a pre-paid shipping label and an opportunity to schedule home pick-up for shipping the used computer.
Dell has offered a no-charge recycling program for Dell-branded products in Europe since November 2003 and currently offers no-charge consumer recycling in Canada. The company announced a global recycling commitment in June that is expected to be implemented by November.
Dell supports a policy that would make all producers responsible for offering recovery and recycling services for their own brand products from consumers at no charge. Dell also believes the marketplace is best positioned to increase efficiency in collection, recycling and design of products, and any legislation should not include fees or creation of new government infrastructure for collecting and recycling electronics.
