\n\nBelow is a listing of locations and information on properly disposing of your computer equipment and batteries, and donation information for working computers and electronics. Users who have older working computers may also want to see: What to do with an old computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Recycling batteries
Because of how many devices use batteries today, it’s important to dispose of batteries not only properly but safely to help the environment and other beings. Also, there are now over 500 recycling laws in the United States and not disposing of the batteries appropriately may result in fines to you or your company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Caution:
In no instance can a battery be incinerated. Disposing of a battery by burning causes them to explode. In case of rupture, leaking electrolyte or any other cause of skin or eye exposure to the electrolyte, immediately flush with water. If eye exposure, flush with water for 15 minutes and consult a physician.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Computer and related equipment dismantle
If you have a computer or computer equipment, including computer networking equipment, beyond repair or too old to be useful, we recommend one of the below services for proper dismantle. If you have a usable computer, even if it’s old, you may want to consider donating the computer instead of dismantling or recycling it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Computer donation
Rather than disposing of your computer, the best option for proper management of “retired” computer equipment is material recovery for all usable parts. If the equipment still functions, consider donating it to a local school or non-profit organization. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
