PC Recycling
Listen to this week's Tips & Tricks segment as broadcasted on JQ99.
You bought a new computer and not sure what to do with your old one. There are a few things to take into consideration:
-
First and foremost, keep that old computer out of the landfill. Computers contain hazardous materials that are bad for our environment.
-
Before making a decision to donate an old computer, be sure it will be of value to the recipient. If your computer is 4 or 5 years old and beyond, it may be more trouble than it's worth for them.
-
Whether you donate your old computer or recycle it, it is very important that your data had been removed from it. This entails more than just deleting old files and folders. There is a lot of data that is stored on your computer that you may not be aware of. For example, any time you have entered your birthday, social security number, credit card, or other personal information on a website it is stored deep on your hard drive. This information can easily be found and used by others for the purpose of identity theft.
