>>While other computer companies are working on recycling solutions, Dell 
>>has mostly put emphasis on public relations and organized a series of 
>>1-day only collection events in several cities earlier this year, only to 
>>ship them to a federal prison labor program called UNICOR to be recycled 
>>dangerously.  Dell has since stopped the practice but should be doing 
>>more considering that Dell controls the largest share of US and global 
>>personal computer marker and yet recycles less than 1/10th of 1% of the 
>>computers it produces.
