Frequently Asked Questions 

Directions to TRG click here

What exactly does TRG do?

  • We take your old equipment, perform data erasure compliant with strict DOD guidelines, and recycle legally according to EPA policy and your company regulations. Nothing goes to the landfills.

What types of electronics does TRG accept?

  • TRG accepts all types of electronics including:
     
    • PCs, monitors, laptops, servers, networking equipment, printers, fax machines, phone systems, scanners, rechargeable batteries, cell phones, etc.
       
    • If you have an asset you no longer need and it’s not on our list, give us a call and we’ll help.

Can I refurbish my old computer?

  • Refurbishing an old computer is not always economically feasible. It can cost anywhere from $100 to $500 to refurbish an old system. And some old units are not in good working order OR they won’t support the software packages that are used in today’s home, business or school.
  • Furthermore, today’s computer advances usually cannot be installed on older computers. Operating systems and software advances also make this a difficult task.

Can I donate my old equipment?

  • Yes. TRG will test all of your equipment when it is received. If any of the equipment is in good working order and meets the standards for donations, TRG will donate them on your behalf.

What happens to my equipment after I drop it off?

  • Once the equipment is dropped off, TRG records each item’s serial number, tests the equipment, and provides data erasure services. The obsolete items are then broken down into their smallest components and separated. These materials are then reprocessed for re-use within that industry (glass, metal, plastic). Some items are more valuable broken down, like CD ROM drives, memory, etc. These items can be reused in other computers. More current technology can sometimes be repaired using components from other units and be resold.

What happens to the data on my computer?

  • Your data is erased using Department of Defense guidelines. The data can never be retrieved should the hard drive be used in another system. If TRG encounters any problems while performing data erasure, the unit is automatically deemed inoperable and the hard drive is removed and shredded.


How does improper disposal play a part in privacy and security violations?

  • Old computers act as a storage area of all of your personal or company data. This includes employee medical records, non-public financial information, corporate financial documents, R&D and security information, credit card information, social security numbers, etc. All of which need to be protected.
  • If a system is dumped or refurbished and resold, this data remains on the system and can be accessed by those with criminal intent. Just low leveling the hard drive is NOT enough. TRG uses a software package that is approved by the Department of Defense as truly erasing all data and guaranteed not to be recoverable.
  • Identity theft is one of the fastest growing crimes in American, and improper computer disposal contributes greatly to this problem. Therefore our data erasure services are a crucial need in helping to protect your company and personal information.
