Recycling old computers, laptops, and other personal electronic devices involves breaking the items down and reusing their recyclable materials, such as metals, plastics, and electrical components, to create new, valuable products.
Computers are made from a variety of valuable resources, such as:
- Copper
- Aluminum
- Lead
- Gold
- Silicon
- Tin
- Iron
- Cadmium
- Plastic
- Palladium
Many of these materials can be melted down and reused over and over again without altering their properties. To ensure these items get properly recycled and don’t end up in the landfill, you’ll need to take these items directly to the recycling facility.
Throwing personal electronic devices such as computers, laptops, and tablets into landfills can cause irreparable harm to the environment, such as:
- Toxic chemicals leaking from your device, damaging soil and local water supplies.
- Metals and plastics that don’t break down continuing to burden the surrounding area.
- Devices sitting in landfills for years and causing long-term damage.
To ensure your device is recycled correctly, send it directly to a facility where metals, plastics, and other materials can be separated and reused. Check out our blog to find out how and where to dispose of your old computers and laptops.
