I came across this interesting video courtesy Recycling Supermarket. This video by Hank Green at ecogeek.org is doing several rounds on the Internet. It has some innovative ideas how you can safely disassemble your laptop, reuse some parts, and yet sell some to ebay for money.
I am really not sure if I could pull it off, but if someone could they would not only protect environment from fumes emitted from battery, but also earn some money and yet help a non-privileged to have a low-cost laptop courtesy their laptop manufacturer.
Here is the video:

Yes! I agree, recycling is very important nowadays and reusing your old laptop would be a great help to save the environment …
Poonam: Lance, Welcome to the blog! 🙂 Yeah, you are right…reusing is a great thing..though I am not sure if a non-techie like me can pull of this efficient disassembling of a laptop…hey saw your blog…would like to try those photoshop tutorials. 🙂
Nice and interesting. Got me thinking hw i wud use the money i get once I get a lappy at work :P. Lot could be done
Got a forward last week abt an old PC… will mail u. Its a huge mail… Its a bit crazy and funny
Poonam: It is certainly interesting, but I am not sure how easy for everyone. Would like to hear more thoughts about it. 🙂
Thanks for the forward. It is certainly funny. 🙂
dont want to watch it coz I am planning to get one laptop soon. cant think about doing something like that so soon 😦
Poonam: Hey, that’s great..which laptop do you have in mind to buy…
On the contrary, you should still watch it familiarize with a laptop anatomy, you just don’t have to do that to your laptop.. 🙂
My superior abilities tell me that I should own a laptop before recycling it. Hahaha! Told you I was more intelligent! 😛
Poonam: Well, you could reuse and recycle you neightbour’s laptop and more laptops that others own. After all who refuses you, you are self-proclaimed [Future] Emperor 😛

Poonam: Hey, thanks..Pradeep. But the Christmas thing was unintentional…I actually did not think of it when I was changing my blog theme. 🙂
