Health and Safety

Dismantling mice is a simple task with no hazardous steps.

What you need

Tools

Step 1 Mouse

Dismantling a mouse is relatively simple. Firstly, cut the cable off. If the mouse has screws, unscrew them and pry the mouse open (the screws are often located below pads on the bottom).
If there are no screws, pry the casing open or break it apart.

Step 2

Remove the printed wiring board and store it separately.

Step 3

Separate all materials and introduce them into the adequate treatment.
Especially take care to remove all metal pieces as plastic should be perfectly clean for further recycling.
