Before dropping off your unwanted electronics at our collection site for recycling, or at a charitable organization for re-use, extra precautions should be taken to remove any personal information that might be stored in your electronic device. Or, when you drop these items off, find out what measures will be taken to protect your personal information.
Under Alberta’s Electronics Recycling Program, the registered recyclers that pick up electronics from municipal collection sites are required to ensure all electronic equipment, including computer hard drives are destroyed – along with any personal information that may be on them.
