I’m still in dilemma!
I spend so much of my savings in fancy tech, only to see them break down or get extremely outdated. Also, the recycling programmes in my area offer me so less money for the once high priced devices I owned!
this doesn’t answer how the actual circuit board is ground up melted down etc… monitors? plastic casing? metal casing?
London Drugs and Best Buy both have e-recycling stations.
I just shot my old PCs with a shotgun and smashed them with a hammer
If anyone is wondering about the music in the opening of the video, it’s Chopin – Funeral March

Does my P5PQL AM motherboard count as a thing no-one will ever want? (Hint: Max 3 GB DDR2 Ram)

Good advice! Electronics that go to landfill poisons the ground and groundwater! Recycle! Our City has a drop-off point at the reclamation yard for no cost. Electronics, batteries, light bulbs, used oil, and so on! My property tax funds this. 🙂
THATD NOT AN OLD MOTHERBOARD!
fact is the recycling centers make a ton of money off of electronic component that feed your charges just adore government is a bunch of fascists that likes to tax you to death
My city also has recycled pickup of paper, plastic, glass, and metal items with garbage pickup funded threw the water and sewer bill. I sell to recycle like aluminum and copper and even steel. And I compost so my garbage that goes to the landfill or incinerator id very little. Yard waste is also picked up to make mulch that is free to pick up at the landfill yard. Broken glass can be picked up or dropped off in a special bin to not pose a threat to sanitation workers. 🙂 Good video!

If you live in any Alberta city like Edmonton, Calgary and Red Deer your opens are really easy for disposal of old electronics. There is no excuse to not properly dispose of old electronics and batteries. Such services are already prepaid by you as you buy new electronics or PC parts so the service is very robust and effective. https://www.albertarecycling.ca/
Everyone says wipe HDD from data, but I have nothing there valuable.

The stuff people leave in e-waste blows my mind. Entire working computers, and not terribly old ones! Give em to a thrift store or sell em for cheap!
You mean we aren’t supposed to start an open fire then burn our old motherboards to extract the precious earth metals and gold?
You can get paid for greenboards

I remember grub borking my bootsector so hard, that it was still borked after 3 wipes
Our company disposes of a lot of e-waste (computers, laptops, smartphones, servers, etc.), which we bring to a recycling center. I usually sift through the e-waste a day or two before, check what is working and what isn’t and take the working and still usable "e-waste" with me to spruce it up and sell. From the non-working e-waste I remove components (RAM, CPU, expansion cards, even laptop screens, etc.) and sell them on eBay. Our company still gets rid of the e-waste, I save working components from being destroyed, make a tidy profit and others get working hardware for a low price. And nothing is wasted.
Press f for the mobo
I would repair that Corsair V750 till it didnt have any original parts inside 😀

Before deleting and formating the drive, you should remmeber:
1- Backup all of them your files before formating
2- If the old hard drive is still have OS, check the OS have something required ( product key on windows and more etc,… )
Good luck of recycling hard drive!
