Why not donate to a non-profit organization?
Although your thoughts are good, even donating to a non-profit organization can put your company at serious risk. Many times, donators don't have the time to completely erase hard drives - leaving sensitive data (tax returns, account information, etc.) accessible by identity thieves. Just deleting documents isn't enough - you must know how to completely erase the hard drive..Eventually at some point, the equipment becomes too obsolete even for the beneficiaries to use. Just one piece of equipment tossed to the side of the road or in a landfill can lead to thousands of dollars of fines and/or lawsuits. Make, model, and serial numbers are just a few ways they can tie ownership back to your company. At ComputerRecyclingPros, the California State funds us to destroy and recycle this for you and at the same time offer you documents which gurantees your protection from any lawsuits or fines.
