Recycling Old Slow Computers

Your cleaning out those storage areas around the house or office and you run across an old computer or two. What do you do with old computer equipment since sending it to the landfill is a no-no?

Your cleaning out those storage areas around the house or office and you run across an old computer or two. What do you do with old computer equipment since sending it to the landfill is a no-no?

First off, don’t just set it out on the curb with a free sign stuck on it. Why not? Because your data is still on the hard drive of that computer and you need to make sure the data is properly destroyed.

Hackers love to search old hard drives for Social Security, credit card and checking account numbers.

Always On I T Service LLC here in Powder Springs offers a recycling service. We will pick up the equipment, destroy any personal or business data, and even email you a certificate for each hard drive that held data on it showing that the data was properly removed.

The rest of the parts are then recycled properly, none of which winds up in a landfill. The fees for this service are very minimal, and you get piece of mind and that storage space back.
