As all of us focus on the many things that we can all do to help the environment, Earth Day is a good day to remember that there are environmental benefits to the donation of electronics.
For working computers, reuse is the first and best option. Our web page, "Donating Computers Helps People AND the Environment" explains why, and offers links to EPA brochures and videos. We encourage you to learn more, and to donate today!
From the article:
Computer donations not only empower people, but they also keep working equipment out of local landfills. This is significant, as computers and monitors contain lead, mercury, cadmium, other metals, and a range of toxic plastics. The negative health impacts of lead are well documented, and just 1/70th of a teaspoon of mercury can make the fish in a 20 acre lake unfit to eat.
