Shred It, Don't Toss It

When you get the good news that the house offer has been accepted, not only is it time to celebrate, but it's also time to plan your move. A big part of planning a move is deciding what to pack, what to toss, and what can be recycled or donated. For disposing of electronics, our recommendation is to recycle and shred as an eco-friendly and secure option.

Shredding isn’t just for paper. Industrial shredders are built to handle the big stuff. Sensitive information can be stored on so many different devices these days.   

Over the years you’ve probably accumulated cell phones, computers and laptops, fax machines, printers, monitors, and other miscellaneous electronic scraps. Evertrade Electronics, located at 10100 Belknap Rd., Suite B5, Sugar Land, has been serving the greater Sugar Land and Houston region by reusing, reducing, and recycling e-waste. You can also checkout Houston Electronic Recycling at 7103 Baneway Drive, Suite A, Houston who accepts electronics plus medical equipment.

Why Shred?

Some may suggest simply tossing everything into the bin for the next trash pick-up but professionally shredding has many advantages plus comes with peace of mind. When e-waste is securely and safely disposed of you are guaranteed:

• Prevention from identity theft.
• Compliance with any local, state, or national laws and regulations.
• Recycling and shredding saves space plus reduces environmental impact.
• Fire hazards are eliminated.
• Sensitive documents are properly destroyed. For businesses, this ensures confidentiality for both your customers and employees.
• IDs, cards, and CD discs are shredded making reassembly impossible.
