Garner has a Free Convenient & Green Way to Get Rid of Computers

Do you live in Garner, Raleigh, Clayton or a surrounding town and have old technology to get rid of? Throwing away electronics in NC will soon be banned.

Items such as computers, monitors and printers contain many recyclable materials, and often contain toxins such as lead and mercury that can harm the environment when disposed of improperly.  With millions of these items being placed in landfills each year in the United States, WingSwept is proud to offer the Garner a free alternative to the dumpster.

If you or someone you know has some old equipment in need of disposal, the Technology Spring Clean is the perfect time to do it.  The event will be held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on April 16th (rain date April 30th) at 951 Heather Park Drive, Garner, NC (map).

Supporting sponsors include the Garner Chamber of Commerce, Garner Citizen, International Minute Press, Jones Insurance, McDonald’s, S&A Cherokee, Timeless Promotionals, Town of Garner, Triangle Business Journal, Triangle Recycling, and Turner Farms Self Storage.

Upcoming Free Computer Recycling Event – April 17

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.

Come out to celebrate Earth Day by doing your part to reduce technology pollution in our landfills.  Go green and be a part of WingSwept’s Technology Spring Clean.
