Apple gets going on recycling program

by Paul Miller posted May 31st 2006 at 3:35PM

After announcing their free computer take-back program in April -- just in time for Earth Day -- Apple is finally getting the program off the ground and are now accepting any old Mac or PC with the purchase of a new Mac. When you purchase a computer from the Apple Store or an Apple retail location, you can opt for the program and Apple will email you instructions and a shipping label to get your old box to their recycling center. We're not sure it'll quiet the company's detractors on environmental issues, but it sure makes for a fancy press release.

I think it about time for Apple to offer this service to all thos who are buying their stuff. Even way before they announce this service I've been using E-Tech Recycling Inc for all my electronics recycling needs. They recycle computers, monitors, printers etc. I think they are doing a great service for humanity. Unlike some recyclers that ship their items to other countries, they recycle their entire item within USA. For more information visit them at www.etechrecycling.com
