Donating Old Computers no Longer Makes Sense

The need to conform to federal regulations and keep private personal information from falling into the hands of Identity Thieves requires making sure that confidential data is 100% removed from your computer and old documents get shredded.

In addition the U.S. EPA is stepping up enforcement, as over 300 Million computers become obsolete in the next few years and changes in technology make it impractical to just donate obsolete technology.

In the very near future federal laws will require business to re-use and recycle 100% of their end-of-life electrical equipment or face the consequences of improper disposal.

“This issues affects just about everyone, because most people don’t think to destroy the old data on their computer before getting rid of it— failure to do so could have your private information ending up the wrong hands and if it happens serious financial consequences could result,” said, Phil Kuhlenbeck owner of www.scrapitout.com, a computer recycler and data destruction service company.

He goes on to remind us, “Donating obsolete computers to local charities could end up costing your charity money in recycling fees. A better option is to contact us and we will put you in touch with a recycler in your area.”
