4. What happens to the equipment after I send it in?

 

All returned products go through an environmentally responsible, multi-phase recycling process. They're sent to a recycling facility where the product is recycled and refurbished then sold for reuse or, if it does not have economic recovery value, the product is separated into components and raw material where it is processed for recovery of raw material.

6. Do I have to take my equipment somewhere or call someone to pick it up when using this service?

 

Over 80% of the population in the United States is within three (3) miles of a UPS store location. The link on this website will assist you in finding the nearest location to you. You can login, print the label on this site, and take the product to the nearest store. You can leave the product with them along with the label and they will package it safely for transit to the recycling center. You can also notify the recycling center in the provided comment field and a package will be shipped to you. It will have instructions for opening the package, inserting the product safely, sealing the package with the adhesive tape provided, and attaching the return shipping label on the exterior of the container. There is no charge to you.

When the program first launches, packages will be sent to all customers. The customer can drop off at any UPS location or contact UPS for pickup. As the program is fully operational, the product with the printed label or just the product can be taken to the UPS store location. The local store will have information on processing the order for you. Please call (510) 661 - 9423 if you have questions.

The package should include the notebook or tablet computer, the power adapter, any manuals, CD's or software that was originally provided.

You must have your boxed equipment available to hand to the carrier personally or left at your doorstep. If you still have questions about your recycling service order you can contact UPS or Fujitsu by emailing or by calling 1-800-831-3183.

14. What happens to the data on my disk drive or flash memory in the products I am recycling?

 

It is always recommended that the customer re-format storage devices after making a backup of critical data. Should this not happen, the recycling center erases all data on storages devices to standards compliant with the Department of Defense (DoD) 5220.22 M Standard for clearing and sanitization of data. This process is non-recoverable and all data sent to recycling center will be permanently erased. The statements and policy of customer data privacy is implemented and utilized on all returned products.
