THE IMPORTANCE OF DATA ERASURE!

Hello: At the Blind Center of Nevada in Las Vegas, we offer data erasure of all information from the hard drive in your computer.

When you recycle your computer, it is important to remove the data so that no one can retrieve your important personal and/or business information. There have been many identity thefts due to the fact that people sometimes dispose of their computers without removal of their information on the hard drives.

For more information on recycling and data erasure, please call the Blind Center at (702) 642-6000 or visit our website listed below.

PLEASE RECYCLE YOUR E-WASTE!

Hello: The Blind Center of Nevada in Las Vegas concentrates on improving the daily lives of its blind and visually impaired members by providing employment and free services. Employment and free services are funded in part by our computer/electronics recycling business. One hundred percent (100%) of the profits go directly to help the blind and visually impaired.

In order to keep all of the services and programs in place, and to insure employment, the need for old and unwanted computers and other electronics for recycling is an everyday occurrence at the Blind Center. All e-waste is kept out of the landfills in Nevada. We also specialize in hard drive data sanitization and give a serial number report upon completion of the erasure.

If you have any equipment for us to recycle, please call the Blind Center at (702) 642-6000, or visit our website listed below. We welcome your inquiries.

LET'S DANCE!

Hello: The Blind Center of Nevada in Las Vegas would like to spotlight a social event that occurs once a week. Every Wednesday afternoon, a variety of dance steps and styles are taught to blind or visually impaired members by one of our professional dance instructors who volunteer their time to this worthwhile project.

This form of social interaction helps to promote better health, a sense of balance, courage to express themselves through dance, and the chance to dance with a partner who understands what it is like to navigate around on the dance floor being visually impaired. Most of all, everyone just has a good time!

For times, and more information, please call the Blind Center at (702) 642-6000.
