Answer 1

At the end of the useful life of the product, it is disposed by either donating it to those who still finds some usefulness of the product, or it is sent for the disintegration. Though, it is dependent upon the nature of the product itself. For example, an old electronic gadget after the completion of the useful life, may be very handy to hand over to those who wants to learn upon the gadget without making any investment. Besides, the some important parts of the gadget can act as spares to be used in some other device. So, some sort of usefulness can be drawn from these ready to be disposed products. So, on the basis of the nature of the product, it is either donated or recycled on most of the occasions for products like laptops and phones. Products like shoes are recycled as these items cannot serve more to others.
It happened with the laptop that I wished to keep it for children as they want to learn freely. I got it after I gave the laptop to another person who needed it more. The reverse case of keeping a product longer did not take place as I have got good length useful lives out of the products and never thought to sell it early. In a family environment, the electronic gadgets keep change of ownership for the learning purposes. So, usefulness is maintained for longer period of time.
It is my Sony mobile handset and my Lenovo Laptop that has served me in best possible ways.
