Think Before you
Donate Computers
Know Your Source
Have old computers that are taking up space?
Of course you do. Who doesn’t.
I think I will be super nice
And Donate my Computers to a Worthy
Cause.
It’s not hard to find someone that will appreciate my old
electronics.
They’re no good to me, but someone can surely use them.
That was EASY!
FOUND SOMEONE TO TAKE THESE OLD COMPUTERS. THEY EVEN THANKED ME FOR THEM!
YEAH!
I can wash my hands of that!
It feels good to help the poor.AND….. Get my closet rid of All that electronic waste. Ahhhh!!!
Roads are paved with goodIntentions...
Unfortunately, things aren’t likeyou imagine.
Most likely, someone is taking what is of value and discarding the rest.
Reality?Reality?
Illegal dumping of electronics are happening everyday.
Someone donates their old computers. Someone else takes what it readily easy to process.
Sold to a buyer and shipped off to another country, where children labor for up to 16 hours
a day.
AND THEN
