Digital dumping

Crook County Natural Resource District hosted its annual e-cycling events in Sundance and Hulett this weekend, gathering an estimated total of 7400 pounds of electronic waste between the two. CCNRD has been offering this service for several years as a way to help the community properly recycle its items, both for personal digital safety and for the sake of groundwater and the environment. The district utilizes ProTech Computing of Gillette to collect the items and transport them to MeTech Recycling in Denver, which is a certified facility for the safe destruction of hard drive information.
