Classrooms across the nation rely increasingly on technology as part of the curriculum. Just as important as using technology responsibly for education, though, is disposing of it responsibly; with the need for the latest tech creating a high turnover rate of IT assets, schools must develop a plan for addressing e-waste.
Computers and electronics play central roles in almost every industry. In the construction industry, IT resources play as significant a role as in any other field. Sometimes assets are used on sites but not needed afterward. Additionally, it is common for IT resources to contain important plans and potentially sensitive information. Proper e-waste recycling is important for construction businesses.
Data security doesn’t stop when devices are replaced, though; the data on end-of-life assets can be accessed by anyone who gets their hands on them, whether in the landfill or in a second-hand store. Turning to an electronics recycling company for disposal of deprecated assets provides insurance that this data won’t be abused.
