Recycling your old computer is a great way to conserve natural resources. Computers are made from valuable materials, including plastics, metals, glass and more. According to the US Environmental Protection Agency, recycling one million laptops saves the energy equivalent to the electricity used by more than 3,500 US homes in a whole year. The average American has more than 10 connected electronic devices, many of them which are not being used.
