Computer Scrap refers to discarded or outdated computer components, including desktops, laptops, circuit boards, and peripherals such as keyboards and monitors. This form of e-waste contains valuable materials like metals (copper, aluminum, and gold) and plastics that can be recycled. Proper disposal of computer scrap is crucial to recover these materials and prevent the release of hazardous substances, such as lead and mercury.

Beyond material recovery, securely handling computer scrap ensures that any residual sensitive data is completely erased, safeguarding individuals and organizations from potential data breaches.
