If you have an old Sony Playstation sitting around gathering dust, this piece of information may help you out.

Starting on September 15, Sony plans on launching a free recycling program in the United States. Anything containing a Sony brand (from old Vaio’s to Walkman’s), can be dumped in an environment friendly way. Approximately 75 WM Recycle America locations throughout the United States have been established so far, with Sony promising to expand the effort in the coming year.

By Sony paving the way for proper waste management, I can’t help but wonder why more tech giants do not have similar programs. Sure Dell takes back their stuff, as well as Apple (for a fee), but shouldn’t there be more? Going green is the hippest thing in tech since wireless, so why the limited resources?

I am hoping it’s just a matter of time until computer manufacturers realize their one day obsolete machine will be contributing to the Earths landfill issue. Meanwhile, three cheers to Sony!
