Technical Guruji: Desktop disposal

The most eco-friendly way to get rid of your old computer and how you can repurpose it and still use it at home

Dealing with e-waste responsibly

I want to get rid of my old desktop. What’s the best way to do so? And sustainably, if possible?

—Bikram, Via Instagram

There are two options. You can either repurpose your desktop and use it for something else; or you just get rid of it responsibly. For the latter, many companies offer e-waste disposal as a service, sometimes with incentives and sometimes even for free. They will recycle or

refurbish it. If you want to make use of it, you could use it as a hub for your home security system, or have your home media server in it, or use it as a kitchen computer, depending on the kind of specs the PC has.
