Safely dispose of your electronics and valuable data
Technology moves faster every day, leaving many of us with old laptops, tablets and other electronic devices.
We know you may be tempted to squirrel away an obsolete device and find a way to bring it back to life, but please don’t. Instead, consider recycling your old devices as a safe and environmentally friendly alternative.
Check out our helpful tips and resources below, and remember to keep cybersecurity in mind when disposing of electronic devices so that no personal information or data is leaked.
Practice good data hygiene when recycling electronics
It’s important to protect personal and confidential data that is stored on your devices – computers, tablets, cell phones and even printers.
Don’t compromise data on you, your business or your clients. The data could be personal, confidential, or both.
Before disposing of ANY device, wipe its memory. If you’re not able to wipe a device yourself, when recycling the device, make sure that the recycling vendor will be wiping the devices clean for you and destroying the data safely for you.
