In addition to recycling your old electronics, Computer Trade will also remove hard drives and destroy them on site.

"If you've ever typed in an address or a credit card number or anything it is in there, the most important thing you could ever do is get rid of the hard drive," states John Calentine, GM, Computer Trade.
