Recycling Made Easy for SMBs Thanks to Dell

For small businesses looking for the most cost efficient and safe way to dispose of their unwanted computer equipment, Dell (News - Alert) is now extending their small business offering to provide customers with a recycling service for unwanted assets.

 

The addition of the recycling program allows Dell to offer customers a more complete life cycle support-- from purchase of the product, all the way to disposal of it.

 

With the new service, customers with fewer than 10 pieces of computer equipment can easily manage, return and track unwanted assets starting at $25 per item.

 

The new online process is provided to customers through a personal asset recovery number for returning the unwanted equipment.

 

And as the protection of confidential business data stored on computers increases in importance, Dell is also offering as part of the recycling program, a comprehensive report of how functional the system's data was cleansed and how the system was recycled. With this, businesses can be at ease with where their information ended up.

 

 According to a news release there is also an option for customers to request tracking of their equipment throughout the shipping process.  

"Small business owners are increasingly concerned about safeguarding their data, yet too few take advantage of simple, affordable and efficient asset recovery services," said Doug Hillary, director, Business Solutions Group, Global Services at Dell. "When it's time to return or recycle unwanted computer equipment, it's critical that businesses turn to a trusted provider to guarantee a secure, easy-to-use and environmentally-responsible process."

The new recycling offering from Dell also helps strengthen SMB environmental responsibilities.

 

The Company has said they plan to recover about 275 million pounds of unwanted equipment by 2009 and is already ahead of schedule on their goal.
