IBM Product Take Back for Recycling

Several U.S. states require manufacturers to create programs for no-charge product recycling for certain electronic equipment, for example, personal computers, computer monitors and in some states peripherals and related accessories that they have manufactured and sold.

IBM participates in a variety of product take back for recycling programs, including programs in certain states where individuals can ship their IBM logoed computer products and peripherals through The UPS Store® and participating Mail Boxes Etc.® centers (UPS uses some Mail Boxes, Etc.®, centers) to IBM recyclers. We do not charge a fee at the time of collection or afterward for this service. Please use the drop down menu below to determine if IBM or your state has a no–charge product recycling program at this time.

Once you have determined that a program is available in your state, please follow the directions to ship your IBM logoed computer products and covered peripherals and accessories for recycling.

Important: For the purposes of this recycling program, damaged or otherwise non-functional IBM logoed personal computers, monitors, and covered peripherals and accessories may be shipped except as follows:

• Cracked or broken monitor screens or any product showing visible leakage (example: leaking or corroded batteries) cannot be accepted for shipment. Contact your local municipal hazardous waste facility for proper handling and disposal of such products.
