Computer recycling

Computer recycling is when old or broken computers are taken apart and the parts are reused or disposed of in a safe way that doesn't harm the environment. It's important to recycle computers because they contain materials, like lead, that can be dangerous if it gets in the soil or water. So instead of throwing away an old computer, it's better to take it to a recycling center where someone can take it apart safely and take out all the bad stuff. All the reusable parts inside can then be used to help build new computers or other gadgets.
