What do people do with their old, useable but outdated(过时的) computers? Most people don’t know what to do with them. Many old computers end up gathering(聚集) dust in homes. Many more are thrown out with the trash.
Finally, some computers are thinking of ways to reduce(减少) the amount of computer junk. Sony has agreed to help recycle（回收）old Sony products. Dell, Hewlett-Packard and others now also take back some equipment.
Laws（法律）are being passed, too. In Europe, computer companies will have to pay for collecting and recycle old Sony products. And 70% of computer waste must be recycled. The idea behind the laws is that computer companies themselves should pay the cost.
Yet while many people are throwing away good computers, others cannot afford them at all. Hundreds
of organizations are working to solve this problem. These groups collect and repair old computers. Some also teach computer repair skills.
The computers then go to schools, charities(慈善机构) and needy individuals. Giving a used computer to one of these organizations can turn one person’s trash into someone else’s treasure(财富) and cut down on waste, too.
56. Nobody knows what to do with their old computer.
57. Many old computers are in homes, covered with dust.
58. Dell is one of the companies which are thinking of ways to reduce the amount of computer junk.
59. If computer companies want to collect and recycle their used products, they have to pay money.
60. Hundreds of organizations only collect and repair old computers
61. The story talks about ways to deal with used computers.
