Nashville Computer Recycling
We frequently get questions from clients about recycling options for their old computers and computer parts. A lot of people don’t want to just throw something away if any part of it is useful to others. Some folks just don’t want to add to the landfill pile.
Regardless, the Tennessean has an excellent write-up today on some various computer recycling options for those living in Nashville and Middle Tennessee, and it’s definitely worth bookmarking for future reference.
They highlight that Dell, together with Metro Public Works, is hosting a computer recycling event this Saturday at the Nashville Dell Campus. From 10:00am to 4:00pm, Dell will take your old computers and, in return, will give you a free tree–a tiny sapling you can plant in your yard. Neat!
If you can’t make that event, there are a number of local organizations that recycle, resell, or refurbish old comptuers. Among the other options mentioned in the article:
Costco
Metro’s East Convenience Center
Born Again Technologies
Salvation Army
Goodwill
FreeCycle.com
Thrift Smart
Check out the entire article here. Special bonus: The article quotes Catherine Mahew of the Community Resrouce Center–who also happens to be a Keystone client. How’s that for tying things up with a nice little bow?

The biggest concern I hear is about data security of the hard drives that they are donating…can you touch on this a little bit?

Computer Recycling
I’ve been looking to buy a new computer but I was having a hard time choosing which one. Your article really helped me with choosing the right one for me, so thanks! I think I have a pretty good idea now as to which one I want to buy now…
Rapid technology change, low initial cost, and planned obsolescence have resulted in a fast-growing surplus of electronic waste around the globe. Though it is scary to think that some of the people who I’ve bought material from are not aware how vital this for protecting clients. I ust had a conversation with one of my suppliers and this came up. Needless to say it was an eye opening experience for him.
