Data Doctors Radio Program
Get the lead out (of our landfills)!
This week's show will be cut short (12p - 12:30p PT) as a result of the ASU football broadcast, so we have very little time to get the word out on a very important topic: repurposing & recycling e-waste.
70% of the heavy metals in our landfills comes from discarded electronics. The lead, cadmium, mercury and dozens of other toxins used in the creation of electronic devices poses a threat to ground water if this continues.
Do your part; get your old technology down to one of the more than 40 drop off points around Arizona.
If you listen to our show outside of the state, please use the resources posted below to find a responsible recycler in your community!
Join us every Weekend as we discuss your computer questions. It's the Tech Show for Non-Tech People! You can post questions on
