Dell Reconnect: Pledge to recycle your old computer equipment by donating it to Goodwill

Thank you to the over 30,000 of you who pledged to recycle your computer equipment through Goodwill! After each one of us fulfills the pledge, the Dell Reconnect program will have kept almost 660,000 lbs of e-waste out of landfills, that's equal to the weight of 165 full size cars!

Not only can we celebrate this important milestone towards creating a cleaner planet, but we can see the real difference that our donated equipment is having in countless people's lives. Goodwill is using recycled and refurbished computers to provide families with affordable access to technology and using the proceeds from our recycling efforts to support crucial job training and digital literacy programs.

On behalf of everyone at Dell Reconnect, thank you so much for helping us reach our goal and raising consumer awareness about responsible computer recycling programs.

Happy New Year from Dell Reconnect!

During the holiday season it's easy to get wrapped up in all the hustle and bustle. But over 25,000 of you truly embraced the giving season by pledging to donate your used computer electronics to the Goodwill®. Thank you!

As you know, giving isn't just about spending money. Here's how your donation of computer equipment is making a difference:

You are helping to keep electronic waste (e-waste) out of landfills.
You are helping to providing families the opportunity to buy affordable computers.
You are continuing to support people receiving critical job training through our digital literacy program.

You are helping to create green jobs through Goodwill.

Now that the holidays are over, and all the gifts are unwrapped, you'll likely have some old computer equipment you'll no longer need. That is why now is the perfect time to recycle your old equipment at your nearest participating Goodwill. Don't forget to make sure that your friends and family also know now is the perfect time to recycle equipment by sharing the Dell Reconnect pledge.

On behalf of everyone at Dell and Goodwill, thank you for your gift to people and the planet this year. Have a wonderful New Year!

Did you know that 4 million tons of electronic waste (e-waste) end up in US landfills every year? That's nearly four laptops for every person in the country! This is why Dell is a supporter of the e-waste export ban – preventing dumping of the world's toxic waste on our world's poorest communities.

Teaming up with Goodwill®, Dell Reconnect is cutting down the amount of e-waste sent to our landfills with innovative recycling and refurbishing programs. Through programs like these, Dell has kept over 800 million pounds of e-waste out of landfills – and we need your help.

You've taken the first step by pledging to recycle your old computer equipment. Now it's about dropping off your old equipment at one of Goodwill's the 2,400+ participating locations. You can also encourage your friends to give back to the planet by inviting them to take the Dell Reconnect pledge.

Thank you for being one of over 14,000 people who have pledged to recycle old computer equipment by donating it to Goodwill!
