Want to Know What to Do with Your Outdated Computer Parts?
Most people at one stage or another will wonder what to do with their old computer accessories and part, well not to worry there are plenty of options available. In material if it is a keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers, etc., there are ways to properly dispose or recycle these things, all it needs is some research. Some can be resold or used for parts, and others can be sent to a
junk recycling
center.
Items that are still in good working order can be sold, as some classic computer systems are in great demand by avid collectors. There are various sites that will allow users to give items away to people that are interested for free or to trade, which can be more practical for people that have not so vintage systems.
Within the U.S there are a few office supply retailers that will take old computer accessories for a fee. A few non-profit organizations will recycle any non-usable items, and send the rest which is still usable, like printers, monitors, etc., to schools, colleges, and even senior service agencies who will re-use them, even the likes of ink cartridges can still be reused.
The reason you should never throw your old computer accessories into the garbage is some do in fact contain hazardous waste, which can include the likes of lead, cadmium, and even mercury. The EPA or US Environmental Protection Agency, states that electronic products that end up on landfills constitute almost 75% of the toxic waste found there. Once they have landed in a landfill, they will end up leaching into the soil, or worst-case scenario, leach into the drinking water supply.
