Easier PC recycling to come?

Dell and Hewlett-Packard say they want to take more of the financial burden for recycling computers off the shoulders of consumers and local governments, the New York Times reports. The companies' messages were "timed to the release Wednesday of an annual 'report card' of corporate environmental behavior by the Computer Takeback Campaign, a project of the Silicon Valley Toxics Coalition, an environmental research group based in San Jose, Calif." Dell got poor grades in last year's report, while HP received the Campaign's highest rating.
