Dell Offering Free Computer Recycling
July 1st, 2006
I just went through the challenging process of trying to get rid of a bunch of old monitors, computers and parts for my company. Now, the week after I completed this task, Dell has announced that they will be offering free recycling of any Dell-branded product, ensuring that the hazardous materials are properly disposed of and recycled where possible.
According to a the company’s press release, “Under its new policy, Dell will provide consumers no-charge recycling of any Dell-branded product, regardless of whether a replacement product is purchased.”
The service is expected to launch by September 2006 in the U.S. and by November 2006 globally.
As far as I know, this is the first major manufacturer to offer this service, which typically costs anywhere from $75 to $100 per system if you were to to have a computer recylcler haul away your old machines.

I want to enjoy the Dell free computer offer, from my country.
I precise I am from Cameroon in center Africa.
Thank you for all reply
Sorry, I think you misunderstood. Dell is offering free computer recycling, not free computers.
ERA is an electronic recycling program. The hazardous waste that can come from montiors, motherboards and other electronics is quite scary. Good on Dell.
