Free Electronics Recycling Event
The Chamber of St. Matthews, Greenway Shredding & Recycling, and Z-JAK Technologies have partnered to host a free electronics recycling event Thursday, March 19 from Noon to 3 pm. The team will be collecting old, out-of-date, or damaged computers, iPads, cell phones, monitors and other electronic devices.
In addition to getting rid of old devices the goal of the event is to raise awareness about the dangers of improperly disposing of old electronics and to encourage businesses and individuals to do it properly.
According to Jeff Chandler, CEO Z-JAK Technologies, data left on old devices can be used to steal your personal and business information. Even deleted information can be retrieved from a hard drive by a smart hacker. It’s never a good idea to just throw old tech away. In addition, many electronic devices contain toxic substances like lead, mercury, and cadmium that are harmful to the environment if not disposed of properly.
All items collected at this event will be professionally wiped clean and disposed of in an environmentally responsible way.
