GREEN MACHINE CUTS HARD DRIVES DOWN TO SIZE
Minister Olga Ilich prepares to throw a hard drive into "The Shredder", an industrial machine that breaks down electronic devices such as cell phones, BlackBerry devices, hard drives and CD-ROMs. After the devices are shredded, the pieces are sent for recycling. The B.C. government has been using "The Shredder" since last summer to further enhance data security. This service is now available for use by the public to protect personal privacy and the environment.
