With new technology constantly streaming into our markets, it’s no wonder that Singaporeans (we’re one of the most tech savvy nations in the world) are constantly hard pressed when it comes to figuring out what to do with their contraptions that have just been rendered obsolete.

So instead of leaving it the devices at the void deck to begin its long and windy journey to a landfill where it’ll take practically forever to decompose (just in case you didn’t know, Silicon doesn’t decompose), you can make a difference to the environment by keeping these devices out of landfills. Here’s how you can play your part.

From Apr 19 to 25, 2007, Hewlett Packard (HP) will be organising a “National Recycling Week” in Singapore.

Computers, handhelds, monitors, printers, scanners, projectors, fax machines, external hard disk drives, keyboards and mice of all brands are welcome.

All you need to do is bring your old IT products to any participating SingPost office and fill up the form. And, if you are recycling any model of HP DeskJet Printer, you will be the recipient of a $10 Best Denki shopping voucher (while stocks last) in exchange for your environmentally-friendly effort.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to the nearest participating SingPost office to pay a bill and drop off the office’s HP Colour Jet 4500 printer in exchange for that $10 Best Denki voucher.
