Computer recycling that starts with data security

The need: Church members and neighbors had old computers, phones and printers sitting in closets and garages, many with personal data still on them, and no safe, convenient way to get rid of them.

What we did: We set up a drop-off outside the church during its pumpkin patch day. Members, neighbors and pumpkin patch visitors drove up with laptops, desktops, phones, tablets, monitors and printers, and many came out simply to support their church. Every device was tagged and logged by serial number on the spot. Back at our facility, data was wiped or drives were destroyed following NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2, working devices were refurbished for reuse, and the rest was recycled responsibly.

The need: The church wanted to give members and neighbors a safe, responsible way to get rid of old electronics, as part of its Red, White & Blue celebration.

What we did: We ran a half-day electronics recycling drive alongside the celebration. Members of the church and the wider community brought in old computers and electronics, and every device was logged before leaving the event. Data was wiped or drives were destroyed following NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2, and everything else was reused or recycled responsibly.
