Are you a computer addict? do you always buy new parts for your computer? do you always change or upgrade your computer or laptops?
but do you know the major problem now a days are the disposal of those things? i mean the disposal of junk or scrap computer or laptop parts and other hardware computer parts (like junk cpus and monitors, junk hardisk or drives, junk cd-roms or dvd roms, cds and dvds, junk printers and scanners and etc.)that can't be decomposed naturally? which it needs a million and trillion and decillion decades and centuries inorder it can be decomposed?
hmmm...what can you say about this? and what can you do about this? what benefits can we get of what you're going to do about this issue?

i like gadgets but i can't say i'm an addict. the last time i replaced my computer was two years ago. this year or probably in the first half of next year, i'll buy a couple of components to upgrade it. edp units are considered hazardous wastes. with regards to disposal, these items, as well as other materials considered as hazardous, are being turned over by our company to establishments accredited by our government to handle these kinds of wastes. during earth day, our company's foundation spearheads the collection of recyclable wastes in our area and these include electronic items.

yeah. it is very shameful. til now, the IT people haven't thought of how to proper dispose on their materials. we should do something about this especially right now and most especially they continue to manufacture. what can you suggest about this matter? for you, how can you dispose these materials?
