Recycling computer components

[So6]

I'm looking for an ecological way to get rid of my bulky stock of HS computer components !!
I inquired about the NET but I found nothing near my home (next to Alès GARD) !!
Is there a solution nearby?
Thank you

Have you looked on the ADEME website? There are directories of collectors it seems to me.

Otherwise since the WEEE Ecotax exists, all the pros are obliged to collect the old material but I do not know in what volume limit.

The problem is that I have a little doubt with the "PRO"!
I would not bring material so that the guy fucks the container in the hour !!!
For the ADEME I look at you immediately

Ok that's cool, I found a directory in PDF on the ADEME website and there is an association on Alès, I'm going there next Friday.
Thank you

Glad I found you!

Can you pass us the url of .pdf? Maybe it will be useful to others

Here is the link on the ADEME website http://www2.ademe.fr/servlet/getDoc?id= ... &ref=12441
Two PDFs are available for download at the bottom of the page.
Good reading

hs computer components usually have only one dead electronic component: everything else is good

the easiest way is to give them to those who may need them

in the current false abundance we throw everything away, but it is quite possible that in a while we will regret it

Ben Chatelot generally I am for recovery and reuse but given the evolution of technologies and especially IT needs, not easy to make recovery .... exploitable!

Try to surf now with a Pentium 1 running at 500Mhz to see ...

There are associations that recover old PCs to send them to Africa or other PIDs ...

There is one in the directory I think: https://www.econologie.com/annuaire/dech ... -0019.html

Here it is:

PcProchain Association »PC recycling with installation of Linux operating system http://www.pcprochain.com/

Quite agree with Christophe, IT recovery is not necessarily a solution, it must be reasoned.
Finally, when a mother card is dead ... it is dead, there is nothing to recover except the battery, the jumpers or an unwelded bios !!!

I am currently writing on a celeron at 600Mhz ...

I always have a pentium at 70Mhz which still allows you to use the internet: finally by avoiding gadget sites ... this pc is always connected in a network with the others

but I agree that the old card will never be used again: and even less in Africa than in France

in France, obsolete cards can serve as a mine of coins for those who still spin antiques

but the most useful in the old card is the most ordinary stuff: connector, integrated circuit support, simple integrated circuit, modem transformer

I have old pc xt, at ... with 20Mbyte hard drive: the smallest 2GB usb stick is 100 times more: but these pc still work, and it is not sure that those of today last as long as

I like to recover the old stuff to recover the components I need because I don't want to dismantle the devices that I bought new and that still work!
