What's this?

I'm about to make a run to the dump to take all my old electronics.

Our local dump has an area to dispose of all old electrical devices.

For computers, remove the hard drives.

You can use this software for high reliability wiping -- VT2001EE 08/11/2021 10:26AM

And removing SIM cards from phones makes this secure...yes? ** -- great2bahokie 08/11/2021 09:46AM

I'd remove SIM cards and restore factory settings. -- HokieHigh 08/11/2021 09:49AM
