Tuesday Tip: Responsibly Recycle Your Electronics

Do you have old computers, cell phones, stereos and other electronics cluttering your home or office? This is one category of clutter that clients are often stuck on what to do with. The main reason is not knowing how to responsibly and securely get rid of them. Many of our household and office electronics contain personal data we don't want to just set free and we also have this sense that these 'hard' materials should be recycled but we don't know how, when and where. The good news is that there are companies that have dedicated themselves to solving these issues...both securely shredding your data and responsibly recycling the materials. One company we have come across in our travels is Metech Recycling. They conduct recycling collection events across the country, including several right here in the Boston area. In fact, there's one coming up this weekend in my hometown, Acton, MA!
