What should I remove from my computer before recycling it?

Hi

The hard drive unless you want your personal info available to anyone...

All the best Brett

A good site for PC recycling



But quite a long drive from Winnipeg. perhaps? 😀

It's best just take Brett's advice, remove the hard disk to ensure the personal data are protected and see if a local charity shop has a use for it. Failing that, most city or town authorities have facilities to make sure the metals are responsibly recycled.

As to that hard disk - know anyone who owns an angle grinder? Using one of those to cut it stops anyone stealing your bank details.
