PROPER RECYCLING AND DISPOSING OF COMPUTER EQUIPMENT. • Use only when necessary • purchase a monitor that does not consume so much power while it is inactive. If you need to leave it for a period of time, switch off your computer rather than leaving it on standby. • Donate • Donate your computer to somebody who can benefit from it such as to a local charity. Remember to physically damage the hard disk so that the new owner will not be able to retrieve its sensitive content. • Recycle • recycle your old computers as well as printer ink cartridges and toners • if your old computer is damaged beyond repair or is no longer fit for use, take it to the local recycling centre. If possible send it directly to the computer recycling section.
