Recycle your old equipment in a way that is  safe for you and the environment

6/15/2015

We all have old computers, tablets and cell phones lying about.  All of these have components that shouldn't end in the landfill.  We can help.  We recycle all electronics except the old CRT (interpret bulky) monitors. Another thing you can do is donate your equipment to Goodwill or other charitable organization.  

Before you do either you need to decide if there is or was any information that you didn't want others to see.  If you do you may want to have us security erase the drive.  Just deleting the files isn't enough.  An experienced computer user can recover any information that was recently deleted.  We can run a special program that uses government standards to make sure none of your data is recoverable.


Trying to get rid of a phone or tablet?  These are a lot more secure.  Just factory reset them and they are good to go.


A printer is another item that  needs some caution.  If you just have a small household printer it is perfectly safe to recycle.  If you have a larger office computer it is possible that it has a hard drive, that needs to be erased, or someone could get copies of everything you have printed.  If you aren't sure you can check on the manufacturer's web site.
