Computer Recycling

So I was to work on a project for school about computer recycling. Given my background as a computer user, I figured this would be easy. Well for the most part it was, as for the writing, then came the hardcore research.

Everywhere I turned there were more and more avenues to look at into more information. I had not realized how larger this could be. Some many companies actually have a job in the market for computer recycling too. Major manufacturers, as we know, already except outdated materials and components from users. Basically because they can melt them down to form something new based on the old part left over.

Yet some components, by themselves, are worth so much more. Yet I wonder, if there is anything we can harvest from this, hmm...all kinds of special alloys used. Some special alloys are even known to be cancer causing and harmful to us in mass quantities. Although we use this alloys everyday and never even think about this result.

Are Computers a growing problem?

So I suppose to do this project for school about recycling computers. Basically a lot of new "green" technology going around so I thought this topic seemed appropriate. I imagined from experience, that this project would be easy.

Its relatively an idea I have not really thought about. Computer taking up space in a county landfill...hmm interesting concept. So as I researched I have found that they actually take up a good portion of the technological waste corrupting the world.

Who would think to throw away a computer? I mean all the left over parts that can be used, its insane! Yet some people do this. Also, look at the amount of information you leave in your harddrive. Do you know what happens to it? Hopefully some hacked doesn't find it and get your goods.

Turns out that there are many companies online and in the phone book that will come and destroy this information and computer waste for you. Then rid you of the pieces so you don't have to worry about clean up either. I can see that this may become a HUGE market in up coming years with demand and availability sky rocketing. At least I can assume.
