Why you need to recycle your old computers?
Laptops are a treasure trove of parts that can live more than one life. Whether they continue a life as spare part or become the subject of a DIY tech project, you can get a lot of extra value out of your old hardware. And at the very least you can give a broken laptop to a recycling facility that will recover valuable materials like gold, copper, aluminum, and many more. Curious to see which parts you can easily extract yourself and re-use in one way or the other?
Laptops consist of a standard set of parts, which every manufacturer composes in a unique way. Hence it is almost impossible to give general advice on how to remove specific parts. And it’s often pointless to stock up on old parts for future use, as they won’t fit into newer laptop models.
What beneficial things you can found from computers?
Battery Pack
Most laptop batteries are unique to one model and can be expensive to replace. So if your old battery pack has some battery life left, even if it’s just an hour, someone else with the same model might actually spend a few bucks on it. Give it a try, although it’s probably best to recycle it.
Power Supply
What’s true for the battery also applies to the power supply. Since the connector changes with almost every model, you won’t likely need an old power supply again once that laptop is broken. Moreover, replacing a power supply is expensive. Those are ideal conditions for the second hand market, so try and sell this part.
If the power supply is broken or doesn’t sell, do consider keeping the the power cable. It might fit into another power supply or device of yours.
Ram
Memory sticks usually are easy to remove. Note that there are many different types RAM. Not only do they differ in storage capacity (measured in GB) and clock speed (measured in MHz), but also in shape, which is reflected in the name (e.g. DDR2 vs. DDR3). Mobile phones contain a range of materials including metals, plastics and several valuable components - such as silver - which can be extracted and re-used. There are an increasing number of options for recycling and re-using old mobile phones.
It is important to ensure that your personal data is removed from your mobile phone before you pass it on or send it for recycling.

Recycling just one cell phone saves enough energy to power a laptop for 44 hours.

If Americans recycled all of the 130 million cell phones that are tossed aside annually in the United States, we could save enough energy to power more than 24,000 homes for a year.
For every one million cell phones recycled, we can recover 75 pounds of gold, 772 pounds of silver, 33 pounds of palladium, and 35,274 pounds of copper; cell phones also contain tin, zinc, and platinum.

Recycling one million cell phones also saves enough energy to provide electricity to 185 U.S. households for a year.
Cell phones and other electronic devices also contain hazardous materials such as lead, mercury, cadmium, arsenic and brominated flame retardants. Many of those materials can be recycled and reused; none of them should go into landfills where they can contaminate air, soil, and groundwater.

Almost all of the materials used to manufacture cell phones—metals, plastics and rechargeable batteries—can be recovered and used to make new products.

Metals recovered from recycled cell phones are used in many different industries such as jewelry making, electronics, and automotive manufacturing.

Recovered plastics are recycled into plastic components for new electronic devices and other plastic products such as garden furniture, plastic packaging, and auto parts.

When rechargeable cell-phone batteries can no longer be reused, they can be recycled to make other rechargeable battery products.
 Do you have a washing machine that is more than a decade old? Of the 76 million washing machines used in the country today, 25 million are at least 10 years old and are considered e-waste. The washing machines manufactured before 2003 are relatively less efficient than the ones produced today. All these inefficient washing machines cost consumers more than $2.9 billion in both energy and water.

You need to give up your old, used washing machine because it is costing you approximately $180 in utility bills every year! But rather than simply giving up your old washing machine altogether, why not recycle it? Recycling your washing machine saves the environment, and helps you play a key role in recycling e-waste while saving energy and repurposing raw materials.

Steel body, Motors, Circuit Boards Air conditioners are some of the most common household appliances in the country. Depending on the type, a good AC unit can last you up to 15 years. However, even the best ACs need to be replaced at some point. When it comes to air conditioner disposal, many homeowners make the mistake of throwing away their old air conditioners, but take note – you should never throw your air conditioner in the trash. It is actually illegal to just discard your air conditioner with your regular garbage, and if you are caught doing so you will be fined.

      If you have an old AC unit that you’re looking to get rid of, keep reading. We’ll talk about proper air conditioner disposal methods, including how to correctly recycle, sell or donate your AC unit. Following these steps will help protect yourself against a hefty fine — and protect the environment, too.

      How to Recycle an Air Conditioner?

      Like all things in life, AC units eventually run their course and stop working. If your AC unit is broken and irreparable, you can recycle it — but only after removing its refrigerant first. Do not attempt to do this yourself —  a trained professional will be able to remove the materials safely and according to specific regulations.
      In order to properly dispose of the unit, an EPA licensed technician must first recover the refrigerant from the system. There are many companies that do this, including scrap yards, sanitation and recycling companies, and privately owned businesses.
