Computer technology today is rapidly becoming outdated; many have turned out to be surplus found in computer stores. At present, computers are raising concerns for the environment due to more and more obsolete and junked spare parts ending up in landfills.
I do a lot of searching in the internet on those obsolete & defective computer parts and found out that there are major companies, who have created those computer parts, started to take owner
ship and developed programs that assist proper disposal of the outdated parts. Other companies are offering options such as trading in your old computers instead of purchasing a new one and offering home pickup or preprinted mailing labels for your old computer parts. Other computer manufacturers are willing to refurbish those parts to become environmental friendly, where as others are buying and selling used computers. Moreover, there are some interesting and gifted people who are recycling those disposed computer parts and create amazing and artistic handcrafts, such as home decorations, out of those recycled computers.
Based on my experience as a computer technician, I have encountered several computer parts & accessories, which are disposable, has end-of-life, with dead-set and cannot anymore be repaired, and even collected few of those given by my clients during troubleshooting.
One problem I found is that most consumers have no idea on how to recycle those dead computer parts and find it easier to discard them in the trash bin instead of spending time to recycle. I was actually one of those people having hard time to decide what to do with the quantity of my obsolete computer parts I had in my garage few months ago. Until I come up with the idea of recycling those and turn some of those into fantastic home decorations.
For those consumers, I can suggest that if the computer is still in good condition why not just deal it to a cheapest price to a friend who doesn’t have computer, or rather offer to family members and relatives, or reward it to co-workers or a gift to close friends. Instead of disposing into landfills, why not just recycle and craft it into an art such as wall decorations, giveaways and gift items for special occasions.
Once the computer’s CPU has been disassembled, there are many components and peripherals inside it which include hard drives, optical drives, floppy drives, motherboards, video cards and many parts that can also be dismantled and those CPU peripherals has tiny parts which can still be recycle
d.
There are options on how to go green and recycle obsolete computer parts just like I did and will continue doing it.
This is an example of a Homemade items made from recycled computer parts & accessories which I created, a unique circuit board clock using recycled from obsolete computer parts. It’s cool!
