Hi, My church has a time once a year when those "do not dump" products are collected. Remember we paid a fee for the recyling. The church gets money for the children's program from the drive. The best part is that the company guarantees that all hard drives will be ground up. They have been checked to see that they are doing that. When the computer won't work how does one use a cleaning program? You might want to check to see if this sort of thing is available in your area. Velma

Hi Velma I find a 4lb lump hammer is a remarkably efficient way of "cleansing" a hard drive <g> I think any IT technician would have to do rather well to retrieve data after a hefty thwack or two ;-) Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On Fri, Apr 13, 2012 at 9:51 AM, <vjspringer@aol.com> wrote: > > Hi, > > My church has a time once a year when those "do not dump"  products  are collected.  Remember we paid a fee for the recyling.  The church gets money for the children's program from the drive.  The best part is that the company guarantees that all hard drives will be ground up.  They have been checked to see that they are doing that.  When the computer won't work how does one use a cleaning program?  You might want to check to see if this sort of thing is available in your area. > > Velma
