| Sony Gets Green |

Most folks make at least a token effort to recycle their newspapers,
soda cans, and cardboard, but most of us nerdly types have an entire
closet full of outdated tech that one spring cleaning away from bulking
up a landfill. Sony is doing its part to help reduce the clutter by
teaming up with Waste Management to launch the Sony Take Back recycling
program--but there are a few caveats.
For starters, you have can't just put your stuff out on the curb,
you have to bring it to one of 75 physical locations. Sony promises to
have at least 175 locations available within a year, ensuring that
every state has at least one, but for now, unless you're in
California, Colorado, Massachusetts, Minnesota, or Wisconsin, you're a
bit screwed. According to Sony, a mailing option will also soon be available.
Secondly, Sony will only recycle Sony products for free. That
doesn't mean you can't bring all your other crap, too--you're certainly
more than welcome--but you're going to have to pay a standard recycling
fee. |
