Disposal of Computers
The production and disposal of computers, coupled with their short life span is having a potentially disastrous effect on the environment according to a report by the UN. Therefore, instead of just disposing the computers, people should consider re-using and recycling the parts, such as re-using the RAM, and recycling the useless parts through organizations that take old computers and replace the damaged, or unusable parts with the ones that work, and completely erase the data from the hard drive, before finding a new owner. If it is hard to contact a recycling organization, it is necessary to find to find a waste disposal contractor who can dispose the machine for you for a set cost. Fortunately, the disposal process would become much easier in the future due to the initiation of the ‘Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment knows as “WEEE”.
