In the largest single recycling project since Dell first launched the service in July 2003, the company is removing computer equipment from nearly 900 schools and administrative locations for recycling or reuse. Dell will refurbish 1,000 of these systems so New York City schools can use them in its Dell TechKnow program. The Dell Tech Know program partners with school districts, corporations and the community to enable "at-risk" or underserved middle school students an opportunity to earn a home computer and learn 21st century technology skills that promote self-esteem, academic success, and prepare them for opportunities in today's technology-driven world.
