Hurricane prep: computers off the garage floor

Storm week is when wet electronics become scrap instead of working PCs.

The local take

I pick up before the rain if you text a count. After flooding, boards are still scrap if they dry; I don’t power them on.

What to do next

  1. Count desktops and laptops — five is the usual minimum unless I’m already on your block.
  2. Say if TVs are included. They are quoted.
  3. Book a pickup or use Hillsborough CCC / Pinellas drop-off for two intact items.
