Let Toshiba recycle your laptop and receive a free USB key!

It’s nice to see large companies stepping up now and then to help protect our environment. Toshiba has announced a new program called TERRE (Toshiba’s Environmental Recovery and Recycling Effort) that aims to ensure that old laptops and LCD screens are safely and responsibly dismantled. With the rapid advance of personal computer technology, old systems are becoming obsolete more quickly. Often people simply toss out the components so that they can buy the latest and greatest. Unfortunately toxic chemicals are used to make PC components and these chemicals end up leaking out into the environment as the parts rot away in landfills. By participating in Toshiba’s recyling program, consumers will be sending their old monitors and notebooks to professionals that will safely dismantle and dispose of the equipment. They have a step-by-step guide for the process that culminates in telling UPS where to pick up your device. There is no cost for shipping and you even get a free 128 MB USB key to go along with all the zen-mother earth feel goodiness…
