Tech Firms Going Green

[Rich Tate]

With all the tech waste we have piling up, it’s good to see major companies chipping in and recycling old products.

This is where computers go to die a green death. Inside Hewlett-Packard Co.'s cavernous recycling plant in the Sacramento suburbs, truckloads of obsolete PCs, servers and printers collected from consumers and businesses nationwide are cracked open by goggled workers who pull out batteries, circuit boards and other potentially hazardous components.

Hp has been doing this for years. I believe they were the first major company to recycle old computer equiptment...

now if they would just get all those phone support ppl to work from home like telus is doing that would be a positive step forward!

RoHS and 80 plus are good ideas. Lead and mercury in electronic waste is bad.
