Don't be so quick to toss out your old PCs, fax machines or digital cameras -- office supply retailer Office Depot is partnering with Hewlett-Packard to offer recycling of one electronic product a day for free all through the summer.
In a press conference Tuesday morning, Office Depot executive Chuck Rubin said the program is designed to offer customers an environmentally sound way to dispose of old electronics.
The program, which will run from July 18 through Sept. 6, comes as computer and electronics makers are increasingly pressured to recycle, since most of the products they manufacture contain lead, mercury and other chemicals that can be harmful if dumped in landfills.
