Computers related parts recycling

As of today, there are so many kinds of computer-related parts, so many new inventions and new technology, which is very good and helpful, but there is 2 sides to every coin and we must remember that those computer parts have to be disposed of of properly in its end of life.

Every electronic component contains raw materials, such as different types of plastics and many metals, those metals will harm our planet if we do not recycle them right, plus there is a good chance that we will run out of those useful resources one day, which might effect the world's economy significantly.

Here is a portion of the computer-related parts that must be recycled:

Printed circuit boards out of computers:
Motherboards, "daughter boards", such as video boards, sound cards, LAN cards, modems, also known as "finger board" memory modules, SIMM modules, etc..
