I wonder how many people destroy their hard drive data before recycling.
weird that they have this event this late, because theres been e-waste pickup on my block twice in the last two weeks.
Last I heard, the e-waste pickups are not legal. However, whichever method you choose, do ensure that you remove or truly erase any harddrives or other storage devices.
I dropped off a TV at the Salvation Army on 4th Ave./Geary, the guy at the drop told me that you can recycle your electronic waste there. They’ll take it in any condition.
Yeah, destroying your hard drive is a good idea since you just never know where your old computer will end up.
There’s a place downtown that’ll crush ’em for about $30 or so.
