How are we going to be good stewards of our environment when more than 500 million personal computers are projected to become obsolete in the United States each year?
Electronic equipment is the fastest-growing portion of the municipal solid waste stream, according to a national non-profit organization committed to environmental health. As the average life of a computer spirals down to a mere two years, consumer electronic products account for 40 percent of the lead found in landfills.

Remarket? Intelligent.
Reusing items — by repairing them, donating them to charity and community groups, or remarketing them — also reduces waste.
Reusing products, when possible, is even better than recycling because the item does not need to be reprocessed before it can be used again.

Storage? Short sighted.
Compromises security. Takes up space. Tax headaches.
Some studies estimate that as much as 75 percent of old, used equipment is in storage, where it takes up space and becomes more obsolete and less valuable. Storage and disposal of computers can also compromise the security of any data or licensed software programs contained on their hard drives.
Landfill? Unwise.
Hazardous chemicals. Poisonous waste. Potential public relations nightmare.
The volume in the landfills cannot be contained, and the breakdown of chemical components creates a reaction of toxic substances that contaminate our drinking water, farmlands and even our schoolyards.
