Living in a modern society with more and more out-of-date but still useful computers, many people have to face such a troubling problem: How to deal with those old computers? Some old ones are put away in homes. Many more are just thrown out with the rubbish.

Don’t worry! Some companies are coming up with new ways to cut the number of old computers. Sony, Dell, Hewlett-Packard and other companies now agree to take back some old computers.

In some countries, there are laws about what to do with old computers. By law, computer companies will have to pay for collecting and recycling their used products. And 70% of computer waste must be recycled. The idea behind the laws is that computer companies themselves should pay the cost. That will encourage them to make computers that are easier and cheaper to repair and upgrade(升级).

While many people are throwing away good computers, others cannot afford them at all. Hundreds of organizations(组织)are w orking to solve this problem. They collect and repair old computers before sending them to schools, charities(慈善团体)and people who need them. In this way, we can turn one person's rubbish into someone else's useful things-and cut down on waste.
