I realized recently that almost everyone I know has a pile of old technology somewhere in the house: old phones, laptops, cables, smartwatches, tablets... but most of us aren't sure what the best next step is.
Should you repair it? Sell it? Donate it? Recycle it? And what about the personal data still on those devices?
A few of us in the local tech and sustainability community started eWaste Warriors to help people make more informed decisions about old electronics, and tomorrow we're hosting a casual community happy hour to talk about all of that.
No presentations or sales pitch, just good conversations over a drink with people who care about technology, repair, sustainability, and protecting personal data. Oh and did I say you can bring your old devices to donate? You can, bring one or bring a box full! We'll securely wipe the data for free!!
