When you get a new phone or computer, what do you do with the old one? Some people toss it, while others put it aside, thinking they might need it later. Unfortunately, those old devices can become a way for someone in your home—especially a curious child or teenager—to access the internet unfiltered.

This could be an unfiltered smartphone, laptop, or even a basic flip phone you didn’t realize could connect to the internet. Keeping these devices around, especially with children in the house, poses a security risk.

The good news is that there’s a solution! TAG Baltimore has partnered with a local refurbishing company to repurpose old devices. In return, TAG receives a donation for each device. Simply reset your device and bring it to TAG’s drop box. Not only does this help your home stay safe from unfiltered internet access, but it also benefits TAG and and gives your device a new life.

If you aren’t ready to part with the device, TAG can also install free software to block the internet access on most devices. It’s a simple way to protect your children and your home.
