2011 Protect Your Identity Days – Protect Your Identity & The Environment

BUFFALO, NY (August 30, 2011) – Protect your identity and the environment! Sunnking Electronics Recycling has collaborated with New York State Senator George Maziarz, North Tonawanda Mayor Rob Ortt, the Niagara County Refuse Disposal District, GM Components Holdings, and Certified Document Destruction & Recycling, Inc. for Protect Your Identity Days 2011.  There are two dates for electronics recycling and secure document shredding which will take place on Saturday, September 10th and September 24th, both from 9am – 2pm. The event on September 10th will take place in the parking lot of the North Tonawanda Public Works, located at 758 Erie Avenue in North Tonawanda, NY 14120 and the event on September 24th will take place in the GM Component Holdings parking lot, located at 200 Upper Mountain Road in Lockport, NY 14094.

This electronics recycling  and document destruction event is open to the public, giving businesses and residents of Niagara County the opportunity to securely destroy sensitive documents and recycle electronics in a responsible and secure manner. All data will be handled in accordance with HIPAA, FACTA and Sarbanes Oxley regulations. Businesses that are interested in participating must make an appointment in advance by calling 716-434-0680. For additional information on these events visit www.sunnking.com/2011-protect-your-identity-days/.

“This type of event has proven to be very successful in Niagara County and I invite anyone looking to dispose of sensitive information safely to participate,” says Senator George Maziarz. “It is more important than ever to guard against identity theft.  There are unscrupulous people out there who are not above rummaging through trash to try to find your social security number or bank account number.  The best way to make sure no one has access to that information is to destroy it properly.”

Residents and businesses are encouraged to bring paper documents for secure shredding (3 ring binders and metal/plastic must be removed) as well as electronics such as laptops, desktops, computer accessories, TV’s, monitors, audio/video equipment, mp3 players, communications equipment, servers & IT equipment, printers, scanners, copiers, fax machines, cellphones, PDA’s, medical/lab equipment, and anything else with a circuit board or cord.

“This event is a great example of state and county municipalities and legislators working together with private businesses to provide a much needed service to the general public,” says Duane Beckett President/CEO of Sunnking Inc. “All of us here at Sunnking look forward to yet another successful electronics recycling and data destruction event for the Buffalo area residents and businesses.”
