Toshiba is the latest computer manufacturer to offer a free recycling/trade in program to its customers. The company will recycle their own laptops free of charge and offer a trade in program for other manufacturers products. If the trade in item has no real value it can be recycled for the cost of shipping.
Toshiba joins Dell in offering a free recycling program for its branded products. A press release from the company earlier this month announced the new corporate policy.
The
company also announced it has joined the Green Electronics Council's
Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool (EPEAT) by registering
select notebook models with EPEAT, extending Toshiba's commitment to the
environment.
Here is information from the press release. "To keep computers out of dumpsters and landfills, Toshiba offers to recycle its notebook computers for free with no obligation by the consumer to purchase a new Toshiba computer. Non-Toshiba notebook computers will be recycled for a small shipping fee."
In addition, Toshiba offers users the option of trading in their used, functioning computers for cash. Toshiba is providing users with a product value estimator at http://toshiba.eztradein.com/toshiba/.
