Reuse, Recycle, Refurbish

Reuse, Recycle, Refurbish

Buying Used or New & Disposing of Old Tech

The holiday buying season is upon us. There are new tech gadgets and devices to tempt our gift giving, especially when gifting ourselves. Should we buy used to save money? If so, were do we shop for quality refurbished items? If we spring for the new hotness, what do we do with our old devices once data has been transferred? This month we’ll answer those questions and more.

Join the Mountain View Computer Users Group (MVCUG) from 9:00 a.m. to noon at the Cochise College Downtown Center, 2600 E. Wilcox Drive in Sierra Vista. We meet in classroom E105. Park in the southern end of the east parking lot, come up the ramp to the east entrance. If the door is locked, follow the instructions on the MVCUG sign. Once inside, follow the signs to the room. A map is available at MVCUG.org.

Coffee, donuts, pastries, and bagels are free, but we appreciate your donations to help offset MVCUG expenses. All meetings are recorded and available for members online. If you are a paid member you will receive an email with the video link two to three weeks after the meeting.

Mission Statement

The purpose of the Mountain View Computer Users Group is to provide current technological news, education, and support for personal information system users in the greater Sierra Vista area and the larger Cochise County, Arizona region.
