What To Do with Your Broken Computer

Has your reliable and dependable computer decided its best days are behind them and decided to pack it in? Although most technology is bound to fail at some point, it can be sometimes confusing knowing what to do with your device. Sometimes, your computer either needs a repair which costs an extortionate amount of money or it is beyond the point of repair completely. You might also be in the position where you have stored loads of computers in your home over the years and haven’t found the time to dispose of them.

From using electronic recycling services to selling unwanted parts, here are just a few things you can do with your broken computer.

Use a Monitor

Although your computer itself might not be functioning, the monitor or display could still be operating. For those working from home or using computers as part of their day-to-day activity, the use of a second monitor is a helpful tool that increases productivity and offers the opportunity to multitask. This means that you’re not actually disposing of the computer itself, but still using parts of it and giving the screen a new lease of life. The main takeaway here is that damaged computers can often have useful components and therefore it’s important to look into this before completely disposing of it.

Make Use of Electronic Recycling Services

If your computer is beyond repair and is completely dysfunctional, then enlisting the help of waste management recycling teams can help you to dispose of this whilst remaining environmentally friendly. Sending your electronic devices to landfill will emit hazardous and toxic chemicals and therefore it is paramount that you use a reliable electrical recycling company that will safely dispose of your device. At Broughshire Waste Metals, we are an electrical recycling company that are proud to help people become more environmentally conscious when it comes to disposing of their electronic devices.

Sell Unwanted Parts

Even if the computer does not have any functionality, you can still sell parts of the laptop to make some extra cash. For instance, the screen, motherboard and power adapter can all be sold individually online, to family members or friends. There are also some high street trade-in sites that swap unwanted computer parts for cash.
