Computer Server Hardware Donation and Recycling

• Seventy-five percent of the fossil fuels used by a computer are actually consumed during manufacturing. Extending the computer's lifespan through recycling and donations means that there will be a higher return on that initial environmental cost.
• Every computer dumped into a landfill represents a missed opportunity to provide technology and computers to individuals, schools, and organizations across our country and the world.
• Donating is suitable for Newer and repairable equipment.

The Case for End-of-Life Recycling

• When you discard a laptop, you are also throwing away the 20,000 pounds of raw materials it took to produce it.
• Even if a computer cannot be reused, recycling ensures that valuable raw materials are recovered from used computers and that any waste is disposed of in an environmentally sound fashion.
• It is estimated that each PC or mobile phone contains over half the periodic table. Modern electronics recycling facilities can recover most of these materials.
• End-of-life recycling is suitable for older or broken equipment.

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), over 40 percent of computers/servers and electronic devices are being recycled in the United States.
