The world and his dog are attempting (or pretending at least) to go green at the moment, and for companies across the world, there is an entire dictionary of popular eco-related buzzwords that must be adhered too.

However, according to those over at gadgettell.com, “Toshiba are taking a different approach”, and are aiming to recycle 12 million pounds of electronics in the US by 2010. Agreeing to recycle any kind of e-waste, “Toshiba will accept any sort of electronics from cell phones to computer to video game systems, all without having to buy a single thing” – unlike Dell, who only deal with Dell branded items.

Even better in these dark days of economic decline, “Toshiba will even pay you for recycling as a trade-in (which, admittedly Best Buy has offered before).  For example, my two year old MacBook Pro would get me $325, and a $25 Starbucks gift card.  Not bad” says the correspondent “if I wanted to get rid of my computer.”
