How to Prepare Electronics
- Back up your data, then factory-reset phones and computers before drop-off.
- Remove or physically destroy storage drives if the data is sensitive — or ask for certified data destruction.
- Keep batteries with the device unless the site says otherwise; loose lithium batteries sometimes need a separate bin.
- Call ahead about TVs and monitors — many sites charge a per-unit fee for CRT and large screens.
