Dell Offers Free Computer Recycling In Select Cities Worldwide

Environmental initiative kicks off Dell’s annual Global Community Involvement Month.

Dell will offer free computer recycling at one-day events in select cities in the United States, Europe and Australia this fall in conjunction with the company’s annual Global Community Involvement Month activities.

Dell’s Recycling Tour begins Sept. 17 in Bracknell, United Kingdom, followed by events in Nashville, Munich, Sydney throughout October and November. The tour concludes in Oklahoma City Nov. 12 in celebration of America Recycles Day. 

Consumers in communities served by Dell’s recycling tour will have the opportunity to drop off computers, monitors, printers and other computer equipment of all brands to be responsibly recycled.

“At Dell, part of being a great global company is being environmentally responsible,” said Tod Arbogast, Dell’s sustainable business manager.  “These recycling events, and the public-private partnerships that make them possible, enable us to reinforce the message that no computer should go to waste.”

Through Dell’s partnership with the National Cristina Foundation , consumers also have the option to donate unwanted computer equipment to charity. Dell has product donation programs in the U.S., Canada, Brazil, Ireland and the United Kingdom.

Dell celebrates Global Community Involvement Month each September, encouraging employees to volunteer in the communities where they live and work. In September 2004, more than 17,500 Dell employees, one of every three employees worldwide, volunteered, donating more than 78,000 hours of time, according to Dell.
