Computers can also be recycled by taking them apart, and reusing or
recycling the parts. Circuit boards, chips, batteries and fans can all
be taken out and reused to build new computers. Valuable metals, including
gold, silver,
copper and aluminium can be
extracted through recycling, along with plastics and glass.
In Australia, computers, monitors, scanners, printers, cables and other computer accessories can
be recycled. Laptop and notebook computer batteries can also be recycled. Contact your local
council to find out your nearest drop-off point.
