Computer Recycling Fees Reduced
If your business is celebrating Earth Day, you might want to take advantage of reduced computer recycling fees from Dell and HP.
And then run over to Office Max for a replacement.Dell and Hewlett-Packard cut fees for their recycling programs this week in advance of Friday's Earth Day observance.
Tech companies have come under growing pressure in the past few years to address the growing mounds of dangerous waste created by outdated computer hardware. Gear such as monitors and circuit boards are full of hazardous chemicals that can leach into the soil and groundwater if dumped into landfills. Groups such as the National Electronics Product Stewardship Initiative have successfully pushed computer makers to responsibly recycle more and more of their obsolete goods.
HP announced Thursday that it was temporarily cutting in half the fees it charges customers to recycle old computer hardware. The promotion runs though May 31 and works in conjunction with a rebate program that gives customers as much as $50 off the price of new HP equipment if they recycle old gear through the company.
