Computer Innards

I was at Technical Knock Out a while back. They disassemble every part of a computer to be recycled, right here in the USA. This box of heat sinks caught my eye. Made of copper and aluminum , they keep a computer cool. Once demanufactured , the metal will be melted down and used again. Last year, TKO recycled over 169 TONS of metal alone. Their total recycling of all components reached 1, 720,000 pounds last week. This is Alabama's leading electronic recyler!!!

TKO

Technical Knock Out is the only electronic recycler in Alabama. They recycle anything that plugs in except a TV. The components all stay in the good ole US of A. IN 2008. they recycled 142 TONS of metal, 6.9 TONS of wire, and 11 tractor trailers full of circuit boards, power supplies, floppies (I resent that!), and opticals. My friend and co-owner, Elise mans their booth at Pepper Place Market every Saturday. She loves talking to the patrons and seeing the PPM dogs. Last Saturday I found these colorful "mother boards". Elise thinks they look like mini-cities. I do too!
