Did you know recycling electronics is super important for keeping our planet clean and our personal info safe?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading h3\">Helping the Environment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Electronic waste is piling up everywhere. If we just toss our old gadgets in the trash or burn them, they release nasty chemicals and heavy metals into the air, water, and soil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By recycling, we can reuse valuable materials like metals and plastics. This means we don\u2019t have to dig up new resources, which is great for the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading h3\">Protecting Your Data<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With more cybercrimes happening, it\u2019s really important to keep our personal information safe. Recycling electronics properly doesn\u2019t just get rid of old stuff\u2014it also protects our data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gadgets like phones, tablets, and computers store lots of personal info. Even after a factory reset, some data might still be there. If not handled right, this info could end up in the wrong hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading h3\">Join Us for the E-Waste and Shred Event<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Come to our event on August 3, 2024, from 10 AM to 12 PM at the West Jordan Public Works Department (7960 S 4000 W, West Jordan, UT 84081). You can bring up to two \u2018Bankers Boxes\u2019 of paper to shred and any household electronic waste. We\u2019ll shred your documents right there!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just make sure your items are ready: paper should be loose (no big clips, rubber bands, or binders). Also, bring proof that you live or work in the city (like a driver\u2019s license, utility bill, or city ID badge).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading h3\">What You Can Bring:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Cell phones<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Computers and keyboards<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hard drives (we can shred these if they\u2019re taken out of the computer)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stereos<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fax machines<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>iPods<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>MP3 players<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>DVD players<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Please note: We can\u2019t accept TVs, CRT monitors, cracked LCDs, batteries, lightbulbs, or printers. For info on how to get rid of these items, contact the Transjordan or Salt Lake Valley Landfill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mark your calendars for August 3, 2024! Join us in helping the environment and keeping your personal data safe. See you there!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey West Jordan residents!
