What to do with an old laptop or PC?

So you’ve bought yourself a new PC or a snazzy new Laptop, installed all the new programs and had a good play around with it. Then it dawns on you, what about your old machine, how are you going to get rid of it?

With technology improving at a tremendous pace, we find ourselves upgrading/updating our Laptops and PCs on a very regular basis. This has resulted in a lot of electrical appliance waste being produced that needs to be disposed of appropriately and with the minimal adverse effects on the environment.

London Mayor’s Infrastructure Plan

Boris Johnson’s London infrastructure plan was launched for consultation this week. According to the plan the existing waste management infrastructure in London “is not suitable” for a planned move to a circular economy and that there is a “lack of financing mechanisms to help develop the necessary facilities”.

According to the mayor’s infrastructure plan, in order to create a circular economy by 2050 the following changes need to be made:

  • Simplified and consistent waste and recycling collection throughout all London boroughs
  • Revised and improved financing for waste in London
  • 40 new waste management facilities – many for reuse and recycling – are required in London

The plan addresses the increase in population growth over the past 10 years, according to the mayor’s report London’s population will surpass 8.6 million early next year. By the 2030s, it adds, the capital’s population will reach 10 million, increasing to 11.3 million by 2050.
