800F Series, 828FI Monitor User’s Guide
The equipment is transported to Dellºs Green Away partner, where it is assessed and dis-
posed of as follows:
•
If judged resalable, the Dell label is removed and the equipment is tested, repaired,
and resold.
•
If judged beyond repair, the equipment is dismantled, and usable parts are offered for
sale.
Unusable parts are disposed of as follows:
•
Metal cases are sold to metals recyclers.
•
Printed circuit boards and cases are sent to refiners.
•
Plastic parts are sent to plastic recyclers.
•
Unusable packaging is sent to paper recyclers.
Monitors are sent to recycling companies to be disposed as follows:
•
The tubes are washed and the luminescent powder is recovered, some elements are
extracted for reuse, and the remainder is disposed of via controlled incineration.
•
Glass is sorted and sent to the lead smelter or recylced for glass works.
•
The planar mask and the iron are sent for reuse to metals recyclers.
•
Items that are not reusable are mainly incinerated.
However, if certain residues on the items are not allowed in hazardous waste incinera-
tors, the Dell Green Away partner transports items to a secured (bundled) hazardous
waste landfill.
Regulatory Note
No Dell systems use batteries containing heavy metal. However, the following note is
included to comply with German regulatory standards.
NOTE: Heavy-metal-containing batteries and accumulators should not be disposed of
together with the general household waste. To make sure that they are forwarded to recy-
cling or proper disposal, they may be returned free of charge to the manufacturer, dealer, or
their agent.
Spare Parts Policy
Dell commits to retaining stocks of spare parts (or reasonable alternatives) for a period of
five years from the termination of production of the Dell system component-for example,
the base system, the keyboard, or the monitor.
