Computer Recycling
There are two methods that i normally practice to get rid of my used computer.
If the computer is still usable and in good condition, i will donate it to charity society. If the computer already broken, i will then try to disassemble it into individual parts like hard disks, RAM, graphic cards, CD or DVD ROM. I will use back the component if it’s compatible with my new purchase of hardware, if it’s too old or incompatible with my new hardware, i will them give it out to my friends or family who need it as a spare or replacement. The rest of the item i will sell it to the local shop for some cheap (really so cheap) price.
Now it seems that we have more options to choose from for unused computer. HP environmental: Product Return and Recycling program will help to manage your unused computer environmental friendly. You can either choose to trade in, return for cash, recycle or donate it. Which is a better practice that save the environment rather then you throw it into the dustbin.

Dell offers something similar too. You can check out The Star’s article on it here- http://star-techcentral.com/tech/story.asp?file=/2007/9/3/technology/20070903122147&sec=technology
It’s good to know that these companies understood their importance in getting their users to recycle.
