Factory reset is not hard-drive destruction
Hillsborough tells residents a factory reset is extra caution. It is not physical destruction.
The local take
SSDs complicate overwrite stories. If the data matters, the drive leaves the chassis.
What to do next
- Count desktops and laptops — five is the usual minimum unless I’m already on your block.
- Say if TVs are included. They are quoted.
- Book a pickup or use Hillsborough CCC / Pinellas drop-off for two intact items.
