Got an older Dell computer or printer you want to recycle? Dell has a long-standing recycling program, where you can return any older Dell product by mail. But now it has gotten even easier to recycle your old Dell devices locally, thanks to a deal the computer company has made with Staples, the office-supply retailer.

Under the new program, users can bring any Dell-branded product -- that includes computers, monitors, printers and more -- to any Staples store for free recycling.

Staples already offered free recycling for many small electronics, like cell phones, but previously charged $10 for larger items like computers and printers. Those items will now be free to recycle -- as long as they were made by Dell.

Free -- that's always a good deal!
