Does anyone knows who buys old laptops

Does anyone knows who buys old laptops, and non-working laptops

 

The garbage convenience center has an electronics recycling area.

I just bought a brand new laptop for $170, so unless you have like an 1-2 year old laptop that cost you $1000+ originally, I highly doubt there is much of a market for it. Not many laptop parts are interchangeable, so the parts inside are not worth much any more.

 

There is a guy on Cleveland school road that recycles old electronics heading toward Smithfield

 

I remove the hard drives before I dispose of our old computers. I transfer the data to a 3 TB drive. Then, those hard drives get to meet Mr Magnet, Mr Hammer, and then Mr Saw before I dispose of them.

 

Just run DBAN on them, it will save you a lot of work. It wipes to DOD standards.

 

But not as much fun!

 

Amen. Not as much fun. And, my way, I KNOW the data is probably not recoverable.
