In 2002, approximately 41 million computers became outdated; another 63 million became obsolete in 2005 (National Safety Council estimates). It is estimated that 75% of these obsolete computers are stored, and by 2007, these stored computers will amount to about 500 million computers needing to be disposed. As new technologies enter the market approximately every two years, e-waste is a mounting concern.

There are different options available for computers besides just throwing them away (or storing them). Many computers are built in a way that allows them to be repaired or upgraded, which means they can be reused. With little effort, these computers can be as good as the PCs currently on the market.

By eliminating e-waste, the environment is protected, resources are saved, organizations in need benefit and you make a difference in the quality of your local environment.
