What Should I Do With My Old Laptop?
Getting a new laptop? Here’s what you can do with your old one if it still runs, from recycling to selling – and beyond.
In the last decade, laptops became a household staple in homes around the world. Whether you’re a small business owner, student, retiree, or Netflix binger, you likely spend a lot of time on your laptop. Unfortunately, laptops won’t forever.
Depending on your line of work or taste in hobbies, you may need to update your laptop sooner rather than later. While finding a new laptop is an adventure in itself, finding out what to do with your old laptop is also a challenge. Learning how to dispose of a computer properly saves you a lot of stress and grief in the long run.
If you’ve been using a laptop for a while, you’ll likely have precious files on the hard drive that you want to keep, or keep other people from using. By wiping your hard drive and knowing a few different ways to safely get rid of it, you can dispose of your laptop without having anything to worry about.
