The first thing we must know is
that the so-called
electronic waste includes a specific series of electronic devices whose useful
life has come to an end. Among them, we can say that
computers and all their internal components, computer peripherals, cell
phones, and various computer equipment are electronic waste. Marketingmediaweb
However, televisions,
screens, cameras, headphones, video game consoles, and all those appliances
that no longer work, such as a microwave or coffee maker, are also included in
the electronic
waste category. Divinebeautytips
In the specific
case of computer equipment, we well know that sometimes a computer that
has become obsolete can be updated with new hardware. Although, in
this case, the cabinet, the screen, and some internal components of the PC will
not be thrown away, the truth is that a large part of them will become
electronic waste. The same happens with all those peripherals that have
been broken and must be replaced, precisely like my friend's keyboard. Globalmarketingbusiness
Of course, in the
case that, for example, we are going to replace our personal computer because
we can acquire a more modern one, always in these cases we must consider the
possibility of giving it to someone we know or donating the old
computer to an institution that needs it. That, of course, is the case
in which we are talking about a team that still works correctly.
However, when we
are faced with the dilemma of having to get rid of some computer equipment that
is broken and no longer works, we must be aware that its disposal must be
appropriate to avoid generating damage to the environment. We
must always be aware that electronic waste can turn out to be a dangerous
substance, and therefore must be disposed of carefully and responsibly. Techcrunchblog
When we have
decided to get rid of this type of elements, we must avoid by all means
eliminating electronic waste along with the usual organic
waste that we dispose of every day at home, and on the
contrary, look for a company or cooperative that is dedicated to the recycling
of this type of item.
In almost every
country in the world, there are today organizations that can advise us on this
matter and thus be able to put us in contact with the right people who
can handle this electronic waste in an environmentally sound way.
