E Waste Collective

We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit e-waste collector operating in the SF Bay Area  since 1994. We collect household electronics to upcycle and recycle in California. Our placement program gives away free refurbished computers to those in need to help narrow the digital divide.   Starting in 1994, we have given away thousands of computers to schools, non-profit organizations and economically and/or physically disadvantaged individuals. Discarded electronics are reclaimed and refurbished in our training program where volunteers learn to restore computers for home, school, and office applications. Any e-waste is then sent to BAN-certified and R2 standard recyclers in the Bay Area.
