If I could arrange that every piece of obsolete computer equipment could be spruced up and given to a good home, I’d be one happy guy. There’s nothing I hate to see more than someone tossing out a perfectly good piece of hardware. My home and office are both growing, physical testaments to this fact. Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately, if you were to ask my wife) reality and common sense does set in and some poor machine must get left at the curb. More and more frequently, junked computers are ending up at the recyclers rather than the landfill, but it’s requiring the recyclers to adapt to the new material.
“So where do the recycled computers go? A Massachusetts company has developed a pothole filler that can be made with the plastic recovered from discarded computers.”
I love this! Rather than being left on the curb, they get turned into the road. I wonder if you could start specifying the computer platform used for the pothole filler through feedback via your municipal tax payments?
