How used computers are recycled

Every computer comes with a life period which in technical terms is also known as the product life. Once the product life is over, the computer stops working and becomes useless. In some cases it also depends on the way the product is handled by the user. But there is a certain time period until which a computer can continue to be used even if utmost care and maintenance is done. Once, the computer is dysfunctional, the only way left to get rid of it is by disposing it.

According to the Environment Protection Act, 1999, disposal of computer equipment is mandatory. Be it the peripherals, spare parts or the hard disks, it is necessary to sell them in such a way which creates less impact on the environment that is no harm should be done to the environment and adapting measures such as dumping or land filling should be strictly avoided.

The computer which you send is recycled in a beautiful way.
