This is a very good question and one often asked by our clients.

Why not? Seems on the face of it a good idea, the problem is that some charities are very good at recycling and others are not!

Does the charity have a large recycling facility that can handle the repair and resale of good machines or the stripping down and recycling of unwanted machines to their component parts.

Or are the charity just selling what appears to work and taking the rest down to the local recycling station?

On top of the recycling issue is the concerns that arise with the disposal of old data!

In short, our advice is come to the experts at Secure Data Recycling and make sure your computers are properly recycled. We feel there are lots of other ways that you can give to charity without putting your data at risk.
