[QUOTE="Randy B. Singer, post: 1942162, member: 190607"] Instead of recycling it, you may want to *donate* it to an organization that will make sure that it is giving to someone, somewhere, who really needs it. Often these places will offer to wipe the data from your drive for you (as well as refurbish the machine as necessary.) If you donate your old Mac, instead of recycling it, you will also get a nice tax deduction. “InterConnection enables digital equity by providing technology and connectivity to underserved communities through sustainable refurbishment and re-use."
