Dell makes it easy to recycle their products

File:Recycling symbol.svgRan across an article extolling the Greenly virtues of Dell, Inc. (via Greenbiz.com), talking about their reducing their greenhouse gas emissions, cutting its packaging, and increasing the number of Energy Star certified computer systems.  Go Dell!

Of keen interest to me, though, is that Dell has managed to recover approximately 67,500 tons of e-waste worldwide.  That seems like a lot, but how do they do that?

Turns out they've got a bunch of different programs to reclaim e-waste, including donations, recycling, and trade-in programs. Strictly in the consumer products space, so all those aging Enterprise-y iSCSI arrays that we've got are, yet again, up to us to responsibly recycle.

Good job, Dell.  I'm impressed with your efforts, and that's saying a lot coming from me!
