"We have a >responsibility to our customers to recycle the products we make and >sell," said Michael Dell at yesterday's event at Dell's headquarters >in Austin, Texas. > >Following Michael Dell's comments, Kate took a look back at how Dell >and NRC's journey over the last three years led to this >first-of-its-kind program: "Our collaboration led Dell in 2004 to >become the first computer maker to provide grants directly to local >governments, community-based organizations, and college campuses to >hold free computer collection events. These highly successful events >showed that consumers want to recycle responsibly and need >convenient solutions to do so, and collected hundreds of tons of >used computers. Now all of Dell's current and past consumer >customers will have a convenient and free way to recycle their >products. I am so pleased that NRC and its members have been there >to help Dell become the industry leader on this issue." > >Currently, no other computer company offers this service. During the >press conference, the NRC challenged Dell's competitors to match >this commitment of free and convenient recycling services for their >customers. "Dell is setting the standard for the industry with this >new policy," says Kate. "Recycling of used consumer electronics >remains a challenge and Dell is taking concrete steps to remove the >barriers of cost and inconvenience for consumers." > >NRC will continue to work with brand owners and government leaders >to find the appropriate national solutions to electronics recycling. > >Dell's U.S. consumer recycling offer is available at ><http://www.dell.com/recycling>www.dell.com/recycling and Dell's new >producer responsibility policy can be viewed at ><http://www.dell.com/environment>www.dell.com/environment.
