Manufacturer recycling programs

Manufacturer recycling programs

Several major manufacturers of computers and electronics are offering consumers recycling and reuse alternatives for their products. This is most common for old PCs and computer peripherals (monitors, keyboards, mice, etc.). These programs must register in Minnesota as collectors of "covered electronic devices."

Many of these branded-product programs are free for consumer products, but be sure you "read the fine print" and confirm that your equipment is accepted. Often the cost of shipping a product or driving a long distance for "free recycling" is more expensive than recycling it locally.

Programs listed alphabetically, by brand.

• Apple: Recycling Program
  Apple-branded products that are no longer useable can be recycled responsibly at no cost to you. Their recycler will also accept other brands for free, including shipping.
• Canon: Consumer Products Recycling Program
  Canon's recycling program for branded consumer products is not free. Consumers pay a fee for recycling and shipping.
• Dell: Easy Recycling for Home & Business
  Dell offers free recycling for all Dell-branded products through the FedEx Package Return Program.
• Durabrand: Samsung Recycling Direct
  Walmart house brands (Durabrand and Ilo) can be recycled at no charge at Samsung Recycling Direct locations in the U.S.
• Dynex: Best Buy eCycling
  Free recycling for Best Buy private label products (Insignia, Dynex, VPR Matrix). For TVs and monitors, there is no $10 fee. Best Buy accepts most consumer electronics at no fee. See web site for details.
• Epson: Hardware Recycling Service
  Free recycling by mail for any EPSON brand of computer equipment or peripherals: printers, scanners, digital cameras, laptops, computers and projectors. Follow the online instructions to receive a pre-paid shipping label, pack up your item, and take to a FedEx-designated drop-off location.
• Fujitsu: Free Recycling Programs
  Free recycling programs for Fujitsu-branded mobile devices and legacy IT products like monitors and computers.
• Gateway: Trade-In and Recycle
  Home users or small businesses with fewer than 10 units of Gateway/Gateway 2000/eMachines product can use the Trade-In Program (Dealtree), which offers you cash for your old technology or free shipping and recycling.
• HP: Recycling and reuse
  HP has partnered with Staples stores to offer free recycling for many consumer electronics (all brands); or drop off and free shipping and recycling for HP consumer products at FedEx Office locations.
