Recycling Old Computers

[Shane Fleming]

Good morning,

We have some old iMacs that are lying dormant for a good few years now. They are a 2006 model and I would assume not applicable to the whole "donation" system. I can't seem to find anywhere to recycle the equipment. Does anyone know where these could be recycled? 

Thanks,

Hi Shane,

Another interesting option would perhaps be to upcycle them by installing an SSD drive and the Linux distro of your choice (Mint would probably be mine)

For €50 (and some work) you’d have machines that would run a current up-to-date OS and be very useful…

Many thanks!

Chris

I’m with Chris in this one, iMacs have amazing hardware so it’s stands to reason they would be great with Linux . I recently put chrome OS on a MacBook Air and it’s running really well.
