The Environmental Protection Agency will work with Dell to recycle or redeploy its computer systems at the end of their lifecycles.
The EPA signed a blanket purchase agreement with Dell under which the agency can purchase or lease up to 10,000 desktops, notebooks and servers over the next three years. As the EPA replaces its old systems, Dell will provide the agency with an easy-to-use, affordable asset recovery service to either recycle or redeploy those systems, help protect the confidential data on them and dispose of the hardware in a manner designed to safeguard the environment.
"It's important that our computer systems are disposed of in an environmentally sound manner at the end of their lifecycles, and we urge other government agencies to look at similar asset recovery models for their systems," said Cliff Moore, director of technology for the EPA's Office of Research Development. "This is the right thing to do, and Dell has made it easy for us."
