Sylvania Campus had their first Hard Drive Smashing event February 25, 2015 and it was a complete success!
20+ students, instructors, and staff smashed 234 hard drives & collected 152 other computer items for responsible eCycling! That’s approximately 351 lbs. of hard drives that were saved from the waste stream & a whole lot of data that won’t be available for identity theft – what a rewarding two hours!
Thanks to the Engineering students’ machines that held up under their first real world test, and thanks for all of your help in advertising, supporting, and participating in this event. Plans are in the works to continue our efforts during Earth Week and beyond.
