For people who love the culture of the 1980s, one pop song that surely made a mark in their consciousness was the late Whitney Houston’s “Where Do Broken Hearts Go?” The song explored the options of people once they are broken, which is rather weird, because the song suggests being ‘back to the open arms of the love that’s waiting there.’ Wait, does that mean people should give their hearts back to the ones that hurt them?

How about for laptops? 

So where exactly do old, used and broken laptops go when people cannot seem to find any use for them anymore?  Do they go somewhere else, or do they come back to their owners who ‘destroyed’ them in the first place?

We can see broken laptops and other electronic waste in landfills, junk shops and other places where they idle when no one seems to care. They pollute land resources when chemical components leak through the sipping soil.

They also pollute our water reserve when these chemicals find their way into open streams of water; with fluids mixing with H2O. These chemical compounds can go and damage the lives of countless organisms living under these waters and therefore, carry over the toxic materials from prey to predator in a never-ending cycle.

What’s horrifying to know is that humans are somehow always at the end of the food chain. We eat the fish, we eat the animals, and we eat the plants found on these reserves. After all the accumulation of toxic materials from e-wastes to our various source of food, we tend to have the highest level of contamination. This can lead to brain damage, biological deformities and death.

  1. Some repair shops buy working and non-working laptops for a reasonable price. These shops are great homes for old and worn-out laptops since scraps and parts can be reassembled, refurnished, or recycled.

  2. A good way to recycle old computer parts and make some money, would be to sell the parts on eBay. Any leftover parts you can’t sell should be brought to your local electronics recycling center.
