Palm's Recycling Program... For Any Mobile Device
Posted by Janak Parekh in "HARDWARE" @ 12:00 PM
"Palm's environmental stewardship program leads us to use environmentally friendly materials, reduce waste, and develop the highest standards in electronics recycling. Our recycling program strives to keep Palm Handhelds and Treo smartphones out of landfills- and we gladly take other companies' devices and all related accessories...Handhelds, phones and accessories will be sorted, graded, tested and ultimately slated for materials reclamation or reuse. The reuse of these devices generates revenues to fund this program as well as the Palm Foundation, a charitable organization that supports educational programs."
Nice PR and environmental move by Palm. All you need to do is to pack the device in a box, affix the supplied postage-paid label, and bring the device to the post office. I've got some ancient devices that are presumably dead at this point, and I should probably recycle them. Do any of you use other recycling programs for your old PDAs/phones?
