Data Doctors Radio Program

Tech Recycle Day

Every year, Data Doctors does its best to create awareness surrounding the importance of properly disposing of old technology.

Instead of waiting for Earth Day this year, we wanted to get a jump on the topic now for two reasons:

#1 - The sooner older technology gets in the hands of needy charities, the more likely it will be useful

#2 - Stress the importance of securely removing personal data while you still remember what's on your old computer

Listen in as we give you everything you need to know to properly and responsibly dispose of your old technology without exposing yourself to identity theft!

Join us every Weekend as we discuss your computer questions. It's the Tech Show for Non-Tech People! You can post questions on Facebook .
