Dispose of laptop - how to do it right
Even if your laptop still works, it may be that the operating system or the equipment no longer fits your needs. In this case, dispose of your laptop differently than if you want to throw away a broken device. We'll show you the options.
These are the options you have
By disposing of your laptop properly, you not only protect the environment, but you can also help other people.- In any case, make sure that all data is irretrievably deleted from the old device. Because only in this way can you properly protect your privacy.
- If the device is generally still usable, then you can ask in social institutions or schools if they are not interested. So you can help a person who is dependent on such a device.
- There are also various initiatives that repair devices to then make them available to needy people.
