Neglecting to get rid of your used computer because you don’t know how to wipe your hard drive?
You have no more excuses.
If you live in Southern California, run– don’t walk, to your nearest Goodwill store with your unused computer. They’re recycling them TODAY, Sunday, along with a special electronics recycling drive. Not sure why the last minute-notice. But they are celebrating Los Angeles Annual Day of Service, a multi-cultural, non-denominational, non-political day of community service and community building. From their press release:
"To protect your personal data, Goodwill wipes all hard drives to Department of Defense standards. We are a registered state-authorized e-waste collector."

No more excuses to get rid of your unused computer. Unless of course you’re sleeping in today. But again, there’s always tommorow.
