Curing Computer Clutter

Earlier this year I got rid of an old computer keyboard, 2 speakers, a monitor, and a copy machine.

We’re paring down the obsolete electronic equipment in the pink bedroom.

Now I’m ready to eliminate 2 more pieces of technology: computers that no longer work and their power cords.

Both laptops are old, heavy, and useless.

I went through both making sure I couldn’t retrieve any more information from them.

After removing all the screws on the back of the Dell computer I finally discovered the secret to removing the hard drive by reading instructions on the web.

Then I removed the hard drives by searching the method on the internet.  One computer was an Acer and the other a Dell so removing the hard drive was different, not intuitively different, in each.

An easy place to recycle electronics.

I took the computers to Best Buy.  I was hoping to photograph the recycling bin but a masked young man met me inside the door of the store and took the computers to the recycling center. I just went out the exit.

We’re keeping the printer on the white file cabinet but the pile of wires is also leaving.

Procrastination is over.
