Computers, TVs, monitors and other equipment are recycled or re-purposed as much as possible. We provide our customers with confidence that their end-of-life equipment will be recycled according to the rules and regulations set forth by the State of California (Department of Toxic and Substances Control) and have created a single set of standards that serve as a basis for following those guidelines.Our commitment is to prevent e-waste from being sent for processing outside of the United States or "dumped" in landfills or incinerators.

Services

It's been a pleasure serving our customers and the community over the past 10 years and we look forward to doing business with you in the future.During the past few months, we made the difficult decision to start charging a nominal fee for some of our services, which is due to the recent decline in the price of commodities and the added cost of doing business. However, there are still many items that you may drop off for FREE at our collection center (see list below - What We Take). What we charge for are hard drive destruction and paper shredding services. We also charge for recycling appliances, fluorescent lights, batteries, household items (vacuum cleaners, stereo equipment, players/speakers, toasters, blenders, coffee makers, toys), printers, copy and fax machines, keyboards/mice and other miscellaneous items. Our first aim is to please our customers, however, we will not be able to serve you if our business incurs losses.
