TIPS & TRICKS: Recycle San Diego

http://www.recyclesandiego.org/

I've been getting many requests for recycling and disposing of old electronics equipment. As you may already know, most electronics equipment cannot be disposed of in ordinary trash because of environmental concerns. As a result, there have been many programs that help with this process. However, many of them usually have some cost. I found this free event that is taking place this Saturday. They will often have free events sponsored by local companies (i.e. Sony).

One thing to remember for those you getting rid of old computers (or anything that might store data). Please remember to find a way to wipe your hard drives. It's quite easy these days to go into an old hard drive to retrieve enough information to steal your identity.

Good luck.
