Round Rock, TX -- In response to mounting pressure from environmentalists, Dell is lowering its cost of recycling for businesses and consumers.
 
For a limited time, Dell will refurbish or re-cycle an unlimited number of old computer systems with no upfront cost (provided the technology meets certain specifications). Asset Recovery Services will remove customers' old hardware and refurbish or recycle it based on strict environmental guidelines.
 
Dell has also reduced the price of computer recycling for consumers from $15 to $10. The company continues to offer free recycling to consumers who purchase new desktop or notebook computers. Its global donation partner, the National
Cristina Foundation, also offers U.S. consumers a no-charge donation program for used computers.
 
According to a report on MSNBC this morning, electronics waste activists actively campaigned for the recycling improvements, and are now seeking to target cell phone manufacturers and Apple Computer for its iPod gadgets.
