Dell Computer is getting set to announce a program to offer PC recycling to consumers. Details of the program are being finalized and will be made public within the next day or two, company spokesman Bryant Hilton said Thursday. Under similar programs from other manufacturers, consumers pay a fee to the PC manufacturer to dispose of old equipment.
The recycling program would join existing options for Dell customers looking to unload old PCs. Through its DellExchange system, set up in December 2000, consumers can trade in old computers or monitors regardless of the brand, sell the equipment via auction, or donate it to a nonprofit organization. Dell also offers recycling to corporate customers through its asset recovery services.
