∙ 12y agoThere are different ways for computers and monitors to be recycled. If you remember when monitors used to be big bulky screens? Well those are called CRT monitors and they contain different metals including Mercury and copper which are good for scrap metal. Plus there monitors can be donated to lower income houses or 3rd world countries. Computers on the other hand have steel, computer chips, even gold in them! If you look at the RAM in your computer and look at the 240 pins at the bottom it will have little quantity of gold on them. Since there is so little gold it can not be melted down or refurbished to be reused. Computer components can be reused multiple of times before they are shot out from ESD (Electric Static Discharge). Anyways they can donated like I said before. Be sure to contact your recycling center to be sure if you can donated or recycle your material.
