    Computer’s Specific Parts Can Be Recycled
    Unfortunately, there are a lot of people that do not know the finer details of what components and materials can be reused from their computers. Here are some of the components that can be reused from your old computer:

    • The CMOS battery inside your computer works to store information. It can be reused for another computer as a way to store data.
    • The motherboards and cards within the computer are considered the “brains” of the computer and are highly reliable, so they can be reused for other computers.
    • All the copper, silver and gold within the computers can be separated from their components and used again.
    • CPUs are also filled with silicon and gold so the materials can be reused.
    • The hard drive stores your data in a rigid magnetic disk, which is sealed with an aluminum housing. It can be used for other models down the line.
    • If your computer has an optical drive, it contains a high level of metals, including steel, copper, and aluminum. All valuable materials that can be reused to make new computers.

    These recycling facilities specialize in recycling computer parts and other e-waste products.
