Recyclable Computer & Electronics Materials  (Page 1)
Computer and electronics are the results of today’s technology boom.  With the rapid introduction of better electronics and computers such as High-Definition television or Centrino-Mobile laptop, the hottest gadget from few years ago are becoming out of date and useless. Instead of disposing these computers and electronics, almost all parts of a computer or electronic device can be recycled.  To learn about the actual computer and electronic recycling process, please visit our section Current Recycling Processes – Computer & Electronics.

This section provides a list of today’s recyclable computer and electronics materials.
