Many
non-profits are continually inundated with donations
of out of date computer equipment - which poses a dual
problem for the giver:
1. Many times,
donators don't completely erase hard drives - leaving
sensitive data (tax returns, account information, etc.)
accessible by identity thieves. Just deleting documents
isn't enough - you must know how to completely erase
the hard drive.
2. Once the non-profit
finds that it doesn't have use for the computer you
donated, they may dispose of it improperly. If it ends
up in a landfill and has your company identification
on it (registered serial number, company stickers, etc.)-
YOU will be held liable up to $25,000 per day - it doesn't
matter that you didn't throw it away, it's still your
problem.
With
Executive Recycling, we erase your hard drive according
to Department of Defense specifications - which protects
you from identity theft. Also, we provide you with a
Certificate of Recycle, which transfers any future disposal
liability to us.
