Dell Ahead of Schedule on Recycling Goal
Dell says it’s going to meet its goal of aquiring 275 million pounds of computers by the year 2009.
Dell claims to have recovered a little over 12% of the computer equiptment sold seven years prior.”Protecting the environment is too important an issue for one company to be leading alone,” CEO Michael Dell stated. “Customers should not be forced into improper disposal due to a lack of environmentally responsible options.
“Dell provides several recycling programs, including no-charge recycling services for its own equipment worldwide without requiring the purchase of a new computer.
The Recycling Works Award was presented to Dell by The National Recycling Coalition in February to recognize the company for it’s efforts.
