Greentech Lead India: Dell has launched 16 electronics
recycling collection points for consumers across 13 cities in India.
These collection points will be located at the existing
Dell Carry-In Service (CIS) centers to encourage the responsible disposal and
recycling of any brand, through a Dell-approved environmental partner.
Each center will house electronics collection bins that
consumers can use to drop-off their non-working electronics.
The electronics recycling collection points
are an extension of Dell’s global free recycling program that aims to provide
free and easy recycling for consumers, keep environmentally sensitive materials
out of landfills, enable materials to be recycled or reused, and help conserve
natural resources — part of Dell’s commitment to put technology and expertise
to work where it can do the most good for people and the planet.
“Dell has been working towards providing multiple
hassle-free options for disposing electronics responsibly and keeping them out
of our landfills,” said A Prem Ananth, Take Back compliance manager, Dell
India. Our newest recycling locations will now provide even more free and
convenient options for consumers to recycle any brand of computer or associated
peripheral device.”
Dell’s electronics recycling collection points will be
spread across 13 Indian cities – Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Chandigarh, Chennai,
Cochin, Gurgaon, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Lucknow and Noida, with two collection
points each in Pune, Mumbai and Kolkata.
