Computer Recycling

[Katrina]

Do you recycle your old computer and equipment? If no place nearby accepts computer equipment do you put it in the dump?

There are people who buy old electronics and eWaste.

I'm big into recycling, reducing, reusing. We have a local place that takes all electronics, appliances & refurbishes them. They recycle the rest as applicable. They help create jobs as well. There's always a place that would take them. May have to do deep searching tho to find those places & also willing to spend some money to ship them.

I have taken old parts to a location where they can reuse them again in other parts and melt them down 😉 I myself have old tech laying around still that still works. End of the day where I'm at there is no right and a good place to trash them other than the tip. Most PC store won't take them anymore.

I’ll mostly save HDDs or GPUs and power supplies for a latter use. Mostly just recycle cases, motherboards and sometimes other components dependent on if I know if I may need it later as a backup or not.

For a period of my life, the computer recycling center for my entire family was my bedroom closet. 😉

I keep everything. Aside from the fact that I am far too privacy-conscious to trust anyone with my electronic equipment, I enjoy re-purposing old systems for various projects. I rent two storage units, and one is nearly floor to ceiling with computer equipment.

Do you recycle your old computer and equipment?

Yes I do. The Vermont E-Cycles program provides FREE and convenient recycling of computers, monitors, televisions, printers and computer peripherals to residents, charities, school districts, and small businesses.
