Millions of Britain’s PC’s dumped at tips!
11/03/2008 by swordfish.
Millions of serviceable computers in the UK end up in landfill sites rather than being recycled, a study has claimed.
The research, sponsored by Fujitsu Siemens Computers (FSC), found that 12.5 million unwanted PC’s and laptops have not been reused or recycled by their owners.
The survey found that one in four machines are taken to tips and more than one million computers have been dumped in household rubbish or the countryside.
This is clearly a growing problem and our PC Help articles can help you deal with the disposal, or reuse, of your old computers in a much ‘greener’ way.
Disposing of old PC Equipment.
