WHAT WE DO @ New2U Computers
Improper disposal of electronic waste can cause toxic chemicals to seep into the land and contaminate our waterways. Are you confident that your personal or company's electronic waste is being recycled properly? What about all that old data...is it safe? Do you have hard drives collecting dust? Do you worry about throwing them away or are you stock piling them in storage? Advancements in technology have left our data vulnerable to theft when disposing of our electronic waste. We all hear those stories about data breaches and identity theft or other malicious activity regarding personal data and valuable information we leave on our devices.
