What are the benefits of recycling versus resale?
If a computer is working, then it’s still useful, right? Although resale and resuse is sometimes an option, in most cases the current pace of technology has rendered many working systems obsolete. Resale and donation simply pass the disposal problem to another party, often someone less well-equipped to deal with it properly. The Colorado Department of Public Health and the Environment even warns on their website not to attempt to “dump” your old, unusable equipment on these entities in an effort to avoid your own waste management responsibilities. Recycling equipment is the best choice once it has reached the end of its useful life. It keeps toxic compounds out of our landfills and helps to conserve our natural resources.
