Callaway Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 http://money.cnn.com/2004/07/13/news/fortu...dex.htm?cnn=yes Don't be so quick to toss out your old PCs, fax machines or digital cameras -- office supply retailer Office Depot is offering to recycle one electronic product a day for free all through the summer, according to a published report Tuesday.USA Today reported that the recycling program offered by Delray Beach, Fla.-based Office Depot and its partner, Hewlett-Packard (HPQ: Research, Estimates), is expected to run from July 18 through Sept. 6. The offer includes all brands of electronics, and products including computer monitors, digital cameras, copiers, fax machines, cellphones, personal digital assistants (PDAs) and TVs that are 27 inches or smaller, the report said. Customers can recycle one product a day through the duration of the offer, the paper said. According to the report, Hewlett-Packard and Office Depot would not disclose how much their program will cost, or how they're splitting the bill. The program comes as computer and electronics makers are increasingly pressured to recycle since most of the products they manufacture contain lead, mercury and other chemicals that can be harmful if dumped in landfills, the paper said.
