The people of Dublin turned out in force to the free recycling event held in Dell’s campus in Cherrywood Business Park on 26 June. The one-day event was held by Dell with the support of WEEE Ireland and Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council.
Speaking about the enormous success of the event, Aongus Hegarty, Vice President Dell Ireland, said, “It’s been a great day and we’ve managed to collect over 35 tonnes which is a great response. Recently we’ve [Dell] achieved our goal of becoming carbon neutral and have also developed a suite of products in response to our customer needs to reduce emissions, lower energy costs, decrease their company’s physical footprint in the data centre and reduce capital infrastructure costs.”
Conor Leonard, WEEE Ireland also praised the event, “Any household item that requires a plug or a battery to function and is at the end of its life is considered waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). All of these items can be deposited at any of the 79 civic amenity sites nationwide for free recycling.”
