Specialty Waste

In today’s society, it’s important that we take into account all that we’re throwing away, before it ends up at it’s final destination. One thing we sometimes fail to think of are things that could be considered specialty waste. Because of the sensitive materials that are either included in or make up this type of waste, it’s important that you not only disposing of it the right way, but speak with your waste management provider for advisement on how to properly get rid of it.

Electronics

As it goes without saying, computers and technology are taking over our daily lives. With all of the information stored on these devices, you must take into account how you can protect yourself before throwing them away. Wiping hard drives and memory drives before placing these items in the trash is a surefire way to do so. If the item is inoperable, consider ways you can also prevent anything from being recovered, such as mindful destruction of specific components.
