Drop off your items or drive-through and we will take your items. ERA will data clean
them and then recycle or refurbish the equipment. As an added bonus, there will be a
powerful hard drive shredder onsite, so you can have your data destroyed FREE of

to remove yourself, we will have a team of professionals from Evident IT to
assist, however there may be a wait to watch the shredding.
