For a more complete look at what steps which electronic corporation is taking, click over to Greenpeace's Guide to Greener Electronics.

I consider this tidbit of info substantial enough for my "debut contribution". Hopefully you think so too. ;-)

Doesn't Dell use refurbished parts for same models under warranty? Is this "act of kindness" a way to cut the cost of acquiring replacement parts?

They'll take any PC. When you're buying one on-line from them one of the last "configuration selections" you make is whether you want them to recycle your old PC for free.

Pardon me if I'm not too impressed at a corporation that recycles only their own product, and only if the customer happens to notice that it's an option and persues it. Mediocre at best.

Flor carpet tiles are 'green', too. They are made out of recyclable materials, and when you need to swap them out for new ones, they'll take your old ones and recycle them.

They pay the UPS shipping too.
