Dell Computer Corporation's Environmental
Program
Design for Recyclability
Your Dell equipment complies with the following principles of recyclable design:
•
Avoidance of nonseparable connections, such as gluing and welding, between differ-
ent materials
•
Avoidance of coatings and composite structure materials
•
Use of as few different materials as possible
•
Designed for ease of disassembly:
— Subassemblies, cables, and components easily detachable by one person work-
ing alone
— Minimal use of screws
— Most disassembly can be done by hand or with the aid of a standard 6 millimeter
(1/4-inch) nut driver only
Dell's Blue Angel Disposal Program
Rapid technological advances lead to a high turnover in computer products, as customers
upgrade or replace their systems at an ever-increasing rate. To address the mounting prob-
lem regarding the indiscriminate disposal of unwanted products, and in anticipation of
future legislation, Dell has instituted a disposal program, called Green Away, for the collec-
tion and disposal of these products.
Dell's Green Away Program
Dell's Green Away program is a free material return and disposal service for Dell custom-
ers, covering computer products sold by Dell under the Blue Angel plan. The returned
products are reused, recycled or disposed of as appropriate, in accordance with local envi-
ronmental guidelines.
NOTE: The Green Away program is designed to dispose of unwanted or unusable products
under the Blue Angel plan.
For returned material discounts on recent purchases, or for recycling of equipment neither
sold by Dell nor covered by the Blue Angel plan, contact your local Dell Asset Management
specialist.
In carrying out this program, Dell's general responsibilities include the following:
•
Organizing the reuse/recycling/disposal of the equipment
•
Ensuring that all disposal/recycling practices meet local environmental regulations
•
Monitoring the process to ensure compliance and facilitate process improvement
