    Business Editors/High-Tech Writers/Environment Writers

    ROUND ROCK, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 15, 2005--Dell
(NASDAQ:DELL) will offer free computer recycling at one-day events in
select cities in the United States, Europe and Australia this fall in
conjunction with the company's annual Global Community Involvement
Month activities.
    Dell's Recycling Tour will begin Sept. 17 in Bracknell, United
Kingdom, followed by events in Nashville, Tenn., Munich, Germany and
Sydney, Australia throughout October and November. The tour concludes
in Oklahoma City on Nov. 12 in celebration of America Recycles Day.
    Consumers in communities served by Dell's recycling tour will have
the opportunity to empty their closets and garages of any brand
computer, monitor, printer and other computer equipment and drop them
off at their local collection event to be responsibly recycled.
    "At Dell, part of being a great global company is being
environmentally responsible," said Tod Arbogast, Dell's sustainable
business manager. "These recycling events, and the public-private
partnerships that make them possible, enable us to reinforce the
message that no computer should go to waste."
    Through Dell's partnership with the National Cristina Foundation
(www.cristina.org), consumers also have the option to donate unwanted
computer equipment to charity. Dell has product donation programs in
the U.S., Canada, Brazil, Ireland and the United Kingdom.
    Dell celebrates Global Community Involvement Month each September,
encouraging employees to volunteer in the communities where they live
and work. In September 2004, more than 17,500 Dell employees, one of
every three employees worldwide, volunteered, donating more than
78,000 hours of time.
    "We're putting our values into action by inspiring, informing and
enabling Dell employees to improve the quality of life of our local
communities without compromising that of future generations," said
Arbogast. "And this is only a start -- we expect to continue bringing
responsible recycling programs to more regions of the world in the
future -- helping Dell communities be sustainable communities."
    Through more than 50 community computer-recycling events directly
managed or sponsored by Dell during the past two years, more than
2,500 tons (2.25 million kilograms) of unwanted computer equipment
have been kept out of landfills. Dell uses one-day computer recycling
events to educate consumers about the importance of responsibly
recycling unwanted computer equipment and the availability of ongoing
consumer recycling programs. Dell is continually exploring ways to
expand permanent recycling programs to more countries.
    Dell makes it easy and affordable for customers to manage the life
cycle of their computer equipment every day. More information on
Dell's consumer donation and recycling options is available at
