Dell Canada Introduces Free Recycling Program

Dell Canada has announced that Canadian customers can now recycle any used computer, monitor or printer through the Dell Web site at no charge.

These services expand on the company's computer donation program, begun last April.

"Dell has placed a priority on providing affordable and easy-to-use recycling programs around the globe and the launch of this consumer recycling offer in Canada is an important part of meeting our global environmental commitments," said Lawrence Pentland, vice president and general manager of Dell Americas International.

Consumers who visit www.dell.ca/recycling will have the choice of either recycling a used computer or donating it to a Canadian non-profit organization in their area (computers intended for donation must meet minimum specifications). Dell's global donation partner, the National Cristina Foundation, coordinates the donation program.

Dell also has awarded two grants of $10,000 each in grant money to the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen and Cool to be Canadian Corp. to support their computer collection events this spring.

Grantees will use the award to organize, promote and stage a one-day event in their community to collect and recycle computer equipment with no charge to consumers.
