Recycle your old keyboard

We live in a world where we produce so much waste. News bulletins are constantly telling me that we’re slowly destroying our Earth, one consumer good at a time. In order to be a little bit more environmentally friendly, we need to start working on ways to reuse and recycle items. I have two old keyboards that, for whatever reason, have been banished into my study cupboard (see: place to store defunct electronic equipment).

Honestly I have no idea how you’d do this at home... but I want one for my desk.
