WingSwept’s Second Annual Technology Spring Clean took place on April 17, which was a beautiful day in Garner. People and businesses of Garner, Raleigh, Clayton and surrounding areas were enthusiastic to drop off old technology equipment to recycle that would otherwise pollute landfills and clutter their home or office.
The event was exponentially bigger than the last with over 22,000 pounds of electronic equipment collected. The average drop off around 150 pounds of technology that was unwanted, and often unusable and outdated.
For two years in a row, participants have been shocked at how easy and pain-free the drop off process has been. WingSwept, the event holder and local information technology company, will continue to hold the recycling event around Earth Day every year as a convenient service to the community.
Items collected included CPUs, monitors, printers, keyboards, hard drives, wires and much more. WingSwept witnessed the shredding of the 23 pounds of hard drives that were received in order to protect private data of participants, while the rest was properly handled by Triangle Recycling.
WingSwept would like to thank the community and the following sponsors responsible for the success of the Technology Spring Clean: Triangle Recycling, Garner Chamber of Commerce, The Garner Citizen, McDonald’s, Town of Garner, Jones Insurance Agency, S&A Cherokee, Garner Rotary Club and Turner Farms Self Storage.

For the second year, WingSwept is holding their technology recycling event as a service to the community. Volunteers will be stationed at 951 Heather Park Drive at the corner of Heather Park Drive and Aversboro Road from 10 am until 4 pm collecting old and unused computer technology equipment to be properly recycled.
WingSwept, a leading local IT firm, is heading up this Earth Day event with the support of several community organizations including Triangle Recycling, Garner Chamber of Commerce, Town of Garner, McDonald’s, Jones Insurance Agency, The Garner Citizen, Garner Rotary Club, S & A Cherokee, and Turner Farms Self Storage. All these partner organizations stand behind WingSwept and their dedication to providing the community with this much needed recycling event.
WingSwept’s Technology Spring Clean allows businesses and consumers the opportunity to properly and responsibly dispose of unwanted computer technology items by dropping them off for free. Computers/CPUs, UPSs, printers, monitors, copiers, keyboards, mice, circuit boards, mainframes, hard drives, phone systems, and cell phones will all be accepted at the event.
For peace of mind and security, all hard drives will be removed from computers and securely shredded prior to recycling. WingSwept is donating this service to the community for businesses and individuals who could be concerned about their sensitive information getting into the wrong hands after disposal.
