The Owen Sound Police Service and the Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) are partnering to help protect your private information through data destruction.

Join us Saturday, March 25th at the Sydenham Campus, (former Sydenham School), 1130 8th St E, Owen Sound, from 10 to 3 where citizens are invited to bring unwanted electronic devices such as hard drives, computers, laptops, phones, tablets, tapes and other small devices storing sensitive data. They will be securely destroyed OR wiped clean and re-used for FREE (you decide which option you would like when you arrive).

Data storage devices will be destroyed on-site with the use of ERA’s shredding machine to prevent data being recovered from old equipment.

If you are unable to attend, please visit https://www.era.ca/how-it-works/ for drop off instructions and locations.
