Toshiba disposes of old PCs for free

Darius Chang | Nov 06, 2007

Disposing of a PC is not a simple matter of dumping it in the trash bin. There are many poisonous substances such as lead, mercury, etc. present in the components that can leech into the environment at the landfill.

Toshiba has been offering a free disposal service for Toshiba electronics in Singapore. With a simple phone call, the device will be collected at your doorstep and the Japanese maker will take steps to ensure that the device does not end up sending poison into the ground. During the launch of the HD-DVD version of the Satellite A200 to Singapore media, Toshiba announced that it will be extending this service to Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia by Q2 2008. A similar system will be set up in these countries for its consumers to go green when discarding unwanted electronics.
