Hemant,

The free recycling option is open to Dell branded equipement or peripheral items purchased through Dell. As for what will happen in your particular case, I am looking into that now.

Thanks,

I sent a Compaq CPU to the Dell recycling center by mistake. I printed the waybill and had the packaged picked up by UPS. Will I get billed for that?

Will Dell send me prepaid envelope to recycle my old laptop batteries? Are the parts of any value to Dell?

Steve - I'm sorry to hear you had a problem with our new recycling service. It is indeed available for old Dell-branded equipment regardless of current purchase. We're investigating to see what may have gone wrong on the site so that we can fix it. In the meantime someone from service should be in touch with you shortly. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

There still seems to be an awful lot of room for improvement in Dell's levels of packaging.

Case in point (and this by no means an isolated case): yesterday I ordered two 17" TFT monitors from Dell (amongst other things). Today I received four boxes, none of which were the actual monitor. Two had UK power plugs in them (one for each box), and the other two each had a 'Dell Monitors Product Information Guide' in them. All four boxes were considerably larger than the items they held and seemed totally unnecessary considering all would have fitted in one box with room to spare. There's a photo of this very delivery here.

Alas, I've come to expect to see many many boxes of all shapes and sizes that weigh and contain very little, accompanying any order with Dell.

mark: thanks for the question.

Following the collection and consolidation of the recalled batteries, industry standard practices for final disposal will be followed by Dell’s environmental partners globally (See Dell's Disposal Guidelines in this PDF). Typically, these disposal practices include demanufacturing the materials for any potential value recovery such as reusable plastics. Following any demanufacturing, the remaining materials are smelted in a controlled process.
