With 100 million pounds of equipment recycled, 2007 marked a new record for Dell as the year with the largest product recycling volume. This is a 20 percent increase from 2006.
“Our customers and stakeholders are inspiring us to lead a new era of environmental responsibility,” said Director of Sustainable Business Tod Arbogast in a news release. “We are at a historic point in time when the combined efforts of companies, customers, employees and suppliers will make the critical changes to protect our shared Earth.”
Dell offers free home pick-up for obsolete company products and has 370 drop-off locations around the country. It is also the only computer manufacturer to offer free recycling worldwide, according to the Dell site.
