When you buy a new computer, what do you do with your old one? Deposit it at the closest electronic store for recycling, perhaps? A South African organization called AULDA accepts various makes and models from most countries. The money gos to aid projects and they even give you a certificate for tax deduction!  |

I've always been told to take out your hard drive first.

That's right. You never know where your personal info would end up if you left it there. Nude pics and all! canadian-flag-banana-smiley-emoticon

Enough info is ending up in the wrong hands as it is (hint...Facebook leaks & abuse), so contributing to the embarrassment by giving away old files isn't exactly making it any better.

Too much is just dumped instead of being recycled. I welcome all initiatives to save the environment.

There are good recycling possibilities around these days. Maybe they should have a refund on computers to make it more attractive to deposit old ones?
