Dispose of Old Computers, Disks, etc. Safely

Thursday, July 2nd, 2009

Don’t just throw old electronic equipment in the dumpster.  It’s an environmental NoNo, you could get fined and these are recyclable.  Also, ID theft is at an all-time high and senstive data may still exist on devices.  Keep your old devices around a couple of times to be sure you won’t need it; be sure the device is wiped clean, deleting is not enough, donate to a charity (www.computerswithcauses.org).  You can write off the donation on  your taxes.  Call me and I am happy to help you with a “green” way to get rid of your old equiment.
