Electronic Recycling!

FYI:

Alameda County Computer Resource Center


From the ACCRC web page
"Got old computers or other electronics?


We'll take it! We will recycle anything that you can plug into a power outlet. This means we will recycle your computer, VCR, television, copy machine, and even your microwave and toaster, but not your large appliances such as a washing machine or refrigerator. When you give us your computer, you will receive a tax write-off, and we will attempt to fix your equipment and then give it away to someone who is unable to afford to buy a computer. If we are unable to reuse your equipment, it will be recycled in an environmentally friendly manner.

To donate your equipment, simply bring it to us during our open hours. No appointment is needed. Nothing is too old or too broken. We only charge fees for degaussing and for non-local pick-ups."

Marin Computer Resource Center


From web page:
"# MCRC keeps hazardous electronics waste out of the landfill.
# We are an authorized eWaste collector by the California Integrated Waste Management Board. CEWID #100285.
# We give away electronics that we refurbish and test to schools libraries, non-profits, and the disadvantaged.
# Nothing shipped overseas except tested, working equipment donated to international recipients of our refurbished equipment. Save The World!
# MCRC helps Bay Area companies to safely, legally, and economically convert formerly dangerous garbage into something useful for your - and our - neighbors.
We now accept small appliances such as Microwaves, Toaster Ovens, Blenders, and Coffee-Makers PROVIDED THEY ARE CLEAN. (no "science projects", please!)"
