Get Rid of an Old Computer

8:06 AM raj

Do you have an old computer that you just don't know what to do with. Here are some ideas.

1 Part out your computer. Save the hard drive or CD/RW and keep it so you could use it in your new computer if that part breaks down.

Step2

Most thrift stores will not take old computers, but there are places that will. See if a nearby school would like it or offer it for free on craigslist.com.

Step3

Freecycle.com is a nonprofit website to give and get stuff entirely for free so it doesn't end up in a landfill. Membership is free.

Step4

Call your local computer store as some of them are offering to give a discount on a new purchase if you bring in your old computer for recycling. Also, Earth911.com will tell you a local place where they recycle old computers.
