Customers who purchase Dell printers can now recycle their outdated printers at no additional cost, and without ever having to leave their home or office.
Dell announced the convenient option, available to any customer in the continental United States who purchases a new Dell printer.
"Dell is serious about motivating consumers to recycle electronics products," said Pat Nathan, Dell's senior executive for environmental affairs. "Our customers tell us they want recycling to be easy and affordable.
"We have listened to our customers and invite all parties who truly want to encourage recycling to join us in lowering the cost and increasing the ease with which customers can help protect the environment," Nathan said.
Any customer who purchases a new Dell printer can recycle their old one simply by putting it in the box their new Dell printer came in, attaching the pre-paid shipping label supplied by Dell, and following the return instructions enclosed with their new printer. Customers can go online at www.airborne.com to arrange for printers of any make to be picked up at their home or office.
Last week, Dell announced another recycling program enhancement that enables customers to order home pickup of unwanted notebooks, desktops, monitors and other select computer equipment for $15 per unit. More information on that program is available at www.dell4me.com/recycling.
Dell also is staging a five-city tour to help customers donate or recycle unwanted systems free of charge in Nashville, Tenn.; Charlotte, N.C.; Columbus, Ohio; Portland, Ore.; and Austin, Texas.
