What do you usually do with old computers and electronics

by Emily Rose . Updated 5 days, 11 hours ago

Hi everyone,

I’m curious what everyone usually does with old computers and other electronics once they’re no longer useful.

Things like old laptops, monitors, printers, keyboards, cables, or broken accessories can start taking up quite a bit of space, especially after upgrading a setup.

Do you normally:

  • Keep older devices for spare parts?

  • Sell or give them away?

  • Take them somewhere for recycling?

  • Store everything until you have enough items to deal with at once?

I’m especially interested in what people do with equipment that is too old or damaged to be worth selling. Do you usually recycle it, take it somewhere yourself, or use another option?

Curious to hear what has worked for everyone else.
