Environmental Information

Computer and Electronic Equipment contain extracted natural resources that have been used in the manufacturing process. Your product may contain substances known to be hazardous to the environment or human health.

In order to prevent releases of harmful substances into the environment and to maximize the use of our natural resources, Gateway provides the following information on how you can responsibly recycle or reuse most of the materials in your "end of life" product.

Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (commonly known as WEEE) should never be discarded in the municipal waste stream (residential garbage collection). The "Crossed out Waste Bin" label affixed to your product is your reminder to dispose of your "end of life" equipment properly.

Substances such as glass, plastics and certain chemical compounds are highly recoverable, recyclable and reusable. You can do your part for the environment by following these simple steps:
  1. When your electrical or electronic equipment is no longer useful "take it back" to your local or regional waste collection administration for recycling. In some areas, your local retailer provides bins for end of life product deposit.
  2. If you need further assistance in recycling, reusing or disposing of your "end of life" equipment, please review our Recycling Options links.
Finally, Gateway suggests that you practice other environmentally friendly actions by understanding and using the energy saving features of your product (where applicable), recycling the inner and outer packaging (including shipping containers) your product was delivered in and by disposing of/recycling used batteries properly.

With your help, we can reduce the amount of natural resources needed to produce electrical and electronic equipment; minimize the use of landfills for the disposal of "end of life" products; and generally improve our quality of life by ensuring that potentially hazardous substances are not released into the environment and are disposed of properly.
