Computer Recycling and Reuse
Since 1997, TechSoup has been helping develop the electronics reuse field. Our vision is twofold: divert significantly greater amounts of discarded material from landfills to reduce toxic computer waste, and create positive social change by making discarded computers available to schools, nonprofits, and low-income families. Find a collection of articles and research that explain the electronic reuse field from both theoretical and practical perspectives.
