Computer Recycling Environmental Upcycling FM Recycle

FM Recycle in Manchester, UK accepts old computers and IT Equipment that are clogging up the landfills.

Computer Recycling :  Old Equipment Upcycling Today Is Hard to Find


So many people aren't sure what to do with their old computers, or IT Equipment that they end up in a landfill rotting and they don't have to be. This is solely because in many places you aren't allowed to throw them out, and the thrift stores won't accept them if they have too many or feel it's too outdated.  Selling online is out of the question, because of size, weight and shipping, truth be told you can't give them away.


FM Recycle in the United Kingdom is so ahead of the game when it comes to upcycling and recycling computers or old or non working IT Equipment.  They say, "Here at FM Recycle we have years of experience in all aspects of computer recycling. We have very strong relations with clients overseas and also have a strong in-house ICT repair team.   We care about the environment, so we believe that disposing of ICT hardware through landfills is a waste and that recycling and remarketing is most definitely the future."

These Monsters Are Wasting Away in Our Homes

Think about it, we are all guilty of it. We have that old computer that runs like a dinosaur, and we upgrade. Some of us change computers more often than we upgrade phones.  With technological advances it become necessary to upgrade, update, and then what happens? The old one sits in the basement collecting dust, or in the attic or garage, forgotten. 

Old Computers Clogging the Workplace

Even businesses who upgrade computer systems often are clueless what to do with the old systems, or even items that can't be saved or replaced. Old towers that perhaps don't work, laptops that may cost more to get repaired than to throw away, sit in a corner of a storage closet or storage room collecting dust.   Truth be told, most businesses don't know what to do with them and don't have the time to figure it out. If the computers are outdated and not worth anything on the internet, they may end up in a big dumpster somewhere.


FM Recycle in Manchester United Kingdom has taken responsibility to doing green goodness on the earth by offering their  Computer Recycling programs that help businesses go green by recycling their old or non working IT Equipment which is UK's Eco Friendly Solution.  They love giving more than adequate information on how to do so.  They offer free services, but even they say, "Sadly, not everyone is aware of services such as these."  If you live in the UK, or know anyone who works there, tell them to spread the word to keep the earth a greener place! 




What about recycling computers in the United States?

Unfortunately FM Recycle isn't here in the States, so you have to get creative and find a place that does accept them.


Here are some tips:

• Search Earth 411 and see if a place near you can recycle them. 
• Sometimes artists will use the circuit boards to make artwork, jewelry, or assemblage.  
• Call small computer repair companies to see if they can use your model for parts. You may be surprised if they can, they may even come and get it. 

Chicago Illinois Enviro Green Carpet Cleaning

What's this? A Chicago based company in Tinley Park, Illinois called Enviro-Green Carpet Cleaning now offers environmentally friendly carpet cleaning. That's right. Chris Wharry started the business when he wanted more for his own carpets. He was tired of the harsh chemicals being used that were harmful to not on the environment, but probably his pets and children. 

He found greener cleaning solutions and took this idea to a business. Enviro-Green Carpet Cleaning utilizes solutions which are certified environmentally friendly and non-toxic by the U.S.  Environmental Protection Agency and the Carpet and Rug Institute. 

His company services all over Chicago and parts of Illinois. You can read more here. 

I surely hope other carpet cleaning services nationwide can follow after Chris' trendsetting green ways.

I hear constantly how people are trying to stave themselves in order to make room for that "big holiday meal" which is not healthy for your system.  Take a good hard look at your eating habits.

Your resolution this New Year's could be to work with a Nutritionist to finally break free of those bad eating habits.

LED lights : Get Eco Friendly LED IDEAS Go Greener

LED IDEAS has informed us on how to go greener by use of LED Lights. They  design led lights specific for commercial use, but also talk much of the Benefits of LED Lights.

They have shared these great facts about LED bulbs:

LEDs use at least 20% less energy than conventional bulbs, with the potential to save up to 90% off your energy bills in certain cases. Switch to LEDs and your investment will pay for itself far sooner than you’d expect.

Not only do LED bulbs run more efficiently, but they last far longer. With an LED lighting system in place, bulb changes are an infrequent occurrence. 

LED lighting is safer than both filament and fluorescent bulbs. Because there is no mercury in LED bulbs, they can be easily disposed of at the end of their lifecycle and do not require specialist disposal methods.

But what about your business?

Businesses in both the private and public sectors are now obliged to reduce their carbon footprint, either under existing rules or as pre-compliance in anticipation of impending legislation. LED lighting is one area in which organizations can take clear steps to reduce energy bills. Public and private sector bodies are now obliged to evince that they are committed to making budgetary savings for the benefit of taxpayers or stakeholders. Continued reliance upon outdated technologies such as filament bulbs is a profligate policy that is impossible to justify in an era of ever-tightening budgets. 

This is where LED IDEAS can help.  Their full range of  LED products in their online catalog include tube lights, panel lights, car park lights,  tunnel lights,  even lights for the tennis or squash court, you would be amazed!
