Business Wire
Dell today announced it diverted more than 68 million kilograms
(150 million lbs.) of end-of-life electronics globally from
landfills in fiscal year 2011, a 16 percent increase over fiscal
year 2010. Dell is about two-thirds of the way toward its goal of
recycling 1 billion pounds of e-waste by 2014.
Recycling is Easy
Dell Reconnect, the company’s partnership with Goodwill
Industries in the United States and Canada since 2004, makes it
easy for people to recycle unwanted computer equipment including
computers (laptops and desktops), monitors, printers, and scanners
and other computer accessories from landfills. Through Dell
Reconnect, people may recycle any brand computer in any condition
and feel confident it will be recycled responsibly. Dell recovered
43 million kilograms (95 million lbs.) of computer equipment in the
Americas during fiscal year 2011. Dell’s Reconnect program supports
the Goodwill mission to help create jobs for people with barriers
to employment. Dell Reconnect has helped create more than 250 jobs
in the Goodwill network. Residents in the U.S. and Canada can find
more than 2, 200 participating Goodwill donation sites by visiting
Dell Reconnect. Dell is establishing similar programs
worldwide.
Dell in 2009 was the first major computer manufacturer to ban
the export of non-working electronics to developing nations.
This week and on Earth Day, Dell team members globally are
observing “Earth Day Dell” with activities supported by its Green
Teams, including seminars, riding bicycles to work and car-pooling
to help build support for environmentally sensitive practices. Dell
and Goodwill will conduct a recycling event in at its Round Rock
headquarters Friday, April 22.
