Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

Spring cleaning, fall cleaning...let's face it. We generally need to clear our clutter as often as possible. This past weekend my family and I spent some time involved in a Fall Cleaning project, focusing on our garage (also known as the "man cave" in some families). Upon entering the man cave I was immediately asked this question:

"Why do you need this??!!"

So...(men and women)...why do you really need that old computer sitting in that corner collecting dust? The computer has taken over the lead from the television as being the most frequently used appliance in the house. In days of old (my childhood) our parents would turn a defunct floor model television console into a display table. But few folks dare to keep a TV around that does not work. Yet we often let an old computer sit around and collect dust without thinking twice about it. 

YOU can answer the question about the need of old computer equipment by asking yourself the following questions:

1. Have I used it within the last 6 months?
2. Do I plan to use it within the next 30 days?
3. Does it contain data that I need removed?
4. Do I know where I can donate it so that it does not go into a landfill?

Usually you can easily answer questions 1 and 2 with a firm NO. Questions 3 and 4 are a bit more difficult to answer. But relax, we can help! Door2Door Computer Services can recycle your old computing equipment. If you have data on an old computer, we can generally take it and move it to your new machine or destroy the old data. Additionally, we strive to exercise the principles of Reducing, Reusing, and Recycling so that your old PC has a ZERO CARBON FOOTPRINT. Basically that means it does not end up in a landfill and create pollution.
