Every year in the United Kingdom, millions of laptops, computers, and various electronics are thrown out. These IT components are often in fine condition, but deemed unworthy because a newer laptop, iPad, router, server, etc. has come onto the market.

SocialBox.Biz is here to collect your throwaway corporate computers and electronics, and ensure they are properly stored, recycled, and re-homed to the homeless in need. Check out this 10-benefit list from electronic recycling.

1. It helps the environment.

It's really tough on the environment when laptops decompose in landfills. They almost never fully break down, and lethal liquids can seep into the Earth's crust.

2. It helps resource collection.

A lot of rare metals and chemicals go into the creation of computers, routers, and servers. Collecting these metals harms the environment. They are a fixed resource; so recycling them prevents further harvest.

3. It boosts CSR.

Recycling redundant corporate laptops and computers instantly boosts a corporations social standing. With their CSR going up, the public will take notice and purchase services by a “green-friendly” corporation.

4. It saves corporation's money.

Outscoring storage, disposal, reuse, recycling and donating redundant IT gear saves money on IT budgets.

5. It helps the homeless.

SocialBox.Biz's “Laptops for the Homeless” initiative ensures that these redundant laptops are re-homed to the ones that need it most.

6. It helps the economy.

Giving disenfranchised members of society access to the Internet will allow them to contribute to the workforce. Without electronic access today, you are irrelevant in the job market.

7. It helps the unemployed.

SocialBox.Biz is making sure up-cycling these redundant electronics gets in the hands of those most grateful. So many computers are wasted every year because a newer model came out.

8. It helps the community.

Allowing more community members to engage on-line and between businesses will bring communities closer together. Communicating over the Internet allows for access to much needed information and solves the problem of digital and social exclusion.

9. It helps society.

Recycling helps society as a whole. Saving resources, sparing the environment, and bringing impoverished individuals out of homelessness benefits all of society.

10. It helps long-term, sustainable growth.

Bringing unemployed, the homeless, and the impoverished out of their state and into the workforce ensures a longer, more stable job market for a given community. The lower the unemployment rate, the healthier the economy and lower the crime rate. Laptops are a direct portal from unemployment to engagement.
