B02: What to do with old computer

QUESTION: What should I do with my old computer?

ANSWER: "Old" is such a relative term when it comes to computers. Some people replace their computers every two years. It is a terrible waste to throw out any computer no matter its age. Not only can parts be recycled, but so much of the computer is toxic. Only 11% of all computers are recycled, when in fact 97% of the parts can be reused. First try contacting your local school or charitable organization. If you have no luck there, you can also access the Internet and go to sharetechnology.org.
