Donating computer is good!
Posted in: Hardware | October 19th, 2010
You may have a computer that you do not need anymore and you already bought another one replacing it. What would you do with your old computer. Throw away? NO.
It is wrong to throw out a computer. It is good to recycle it but donating is the best option. Give it to someone to re-use the computer.
But you can not donate everything, because, for example, Commodore 64 and Atari’s are not useful anymore.
But you can not donate everything, because, for example, Commodore 64 and Atari’s are not useful anymore.
Here are 5 important tips to remember when thinking about donating your computer equipment:
1. Is it old enough? If the computer equipment is over 8 years old, it should be tagged as “recycle.”Although some less technological schools might benefit from 9-year old working computers, the chances that the computer
will reach year 10 are slim, and will cause more time and cost to replace the computer.
2. Does your computer turn on? Still donation-worthy? Yes. It is wise to know what the computer issue is or at least look for a free computer diagnostic from a computer shop to know. If it’s a hard drive, RAM issue, or some other fixable solution,then, this is still able to be donated.
3. The accessories! If it’s a desktop, remember to include the mouse, keyboard, and power plug. A monitor would be great too if possible.
4. Delete your important data. Be sure to clean your hard drive before donating to ensure no files are out in the wilderness. A computer repair shop may do this for free or a nominal cost.
5. Who to donate to? Schools, and non-profit organizations are a no-brainer. If your computers don’t fall within the donation realm, then you should recycle your equipment.
