Q. What do you do with hardware if you upgrade or don't want it anymore? Do you throw it in the garbage?

A. No, please don't throw it in the garbage. Computer components contain dangerous chemicals like; lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium which cause caner, high blood pressure, nerve and brain damage. Thankfully many companies are being responsible and removing some of these chemicals from their products. Also, checkout these websites: http://www.epa.org, http://www.epa.gov & http://www.ec.gc.ca
