In pictures: HP's Dell-beating recycling megaplex

There’s an interesting picture story of HP’s recycling centre in California on ZDNet. The tech firm recently celebrated the news that it had recycled 1/2 a billion kilograms of your old PCs, printers, print cartridges and sundry other rubbish.

Arch-rival Dell also has a major recycling scheme, although its figures are somewhat more modest than HP’s. It recently announced that it is “ahead of schedule” in its plan to recycle about 125 million kilos of kit by 2009. By contrast, HP plans to recycling another 500 million kilos by 2010.

Anyway, it’s nice that they’re both getting into the race…
