June 16 --

Dell Inc. and Goodwill Industries of San Diego have launched a free drop-off computer recycling program in the city.

San Diego residents can drop off unwanted computers at any of the 24 Goodwill locations in the city at no cost starting June 15. Goodwill will sort the equipment and Dell will recycle the machines with all proceeds benefiting Goodwill´s job training and employment services program.

Dell and Goodwill hope to collect at least 2 million pounds of computers and computer equipment in one year through the pilot program, called Reconnect San Diego.

They also operate Reconnect pilot programs in Central Texas, Michigan and the San Francisco Bay area.
