I typically recommend Dell computers to my friends. (My husband and I are the all-knowing computer geniuses among the people we know, so we frequently research and recommend computer products.)

I like Dell's affordable prices, remarkable quality, and service plan, which, get this, actually results in somebody coming to your home and fixing your computer. (Although the phone support can sometimes be a pain because they often want you to reinstall Windows for everything, even when I'm absolutely, 100% certain that the problem is a hardware issue and has nothing to do with windows. But I digress.)

So I'm reading about business values and such, and I came across Dell's name in a book of eco-friendly companies. I decided to check it out. And that's where I found something that made me smile.

A real recycling program.

Don't throw your old Dell products in the trash. Send them back to Dell for recycling. (Click on your country's flag to be taken to the recycling page for your area.) Dell will take them back and figure out a way to put them to good use.
