Krafting@lemmy.world 8 months agoYeah… that sucks, but then they’ll tell you about green IT and stuff, but they just throw away and destroy stuff that could be used elsewhere…

It’s an IP issue. Nobody wants to be the one responsible for leaking someone’s proprietary design or PII just to make a little bit of cash from selling used drives. My work has 55 gallon drums with a slot on top to dispose of hard drives for this same reason.

eWaste. We have a contract to give an outside company all our stuff. We degauss and shred hard drives and everything else does in a big bin that they pickup every month.
