Recycle all IT equipment

All government establishments should recycle unwanted IT equipment through recycling centres which train the unemployed how to repair and refurbish the equipment. The equipment is then sold on to help fund the project and the unemployed are gaining valuable training and experience at the same time which will help them gain employment

Why is this important?

The government destroys or throws away too much It equipment due to security risks if the hard drives are removed from all laptops and pc's and a factory restore performed on all tablets and mobile phones to remove all data, then the equipment can be recycled without the risk of any data being compromised. Also by setting up workshops to train the unemployed you are giving them a skill set which will help them gain employment within the It industry.
