Palm Environmental Programs: Take Back and Recycling Program

 |
|
Welcome to the Palm Take Back and Recycling Program. |
Mission
Palm's environmental stewardship program leads us to use environmentally friendly materials, reduce waste, and develop the highest standards in electronics recycling. Our recycling program strives to keep Palm Handhelds and Treo smartphones out of landfills- and we gladly take other companies' devices and all related accessories.
Why recycle?
This program allows us to evaluate and disposition handhelds and mobile phones for reuse and recycling to prevent them from going into landfills. Our program safely reclaims metals and also isolates heavy metals, protecting the environment and making these available for reuse.
How can I help?
Simply place your handhelds, mobile phones and related accessories (chargers, headsets, memory cards) into a box large enough for you to safely send in all your retired mobile devices, apply the postage-paid mailing label, and put it in a mailbox or bring it to the post office. It's free!!
Please note that you are responsible for removing all personal information before submitting devices to the Palm recycling program. Visit
www.palm.com/erase.
for information and instructions to erase personal data from your Treo smartphone.
What happens to the phones?
Handhelds, phones and accessories will be sorted, graded, tested and ultimately slated for materials reclamation or reuse. The reuse of these devices generates revenues to fund this program as well as the Palm Foundation, a charitable organization that supports educational programs.
From all of us at Palm, thank you for your help.
