About e-Waste
Although electronic waste accounts for only 2% of America’s trash, it’s responsible for over 70% of the nation’s hazardous waste. The EPA estimates that 4 out of 5 units sent to electronic recyclers are shipped to unregulated electronic waste dumps in developing countries.
GreenCitizen is committed to refurbishing and reselling every possible item that comes through its door for recycling, and responsibly sorting those items which can’t be refurbished or resold. The sorted components and materials are recycled locally with e-Stewards or R2 certified vendors within 150 miles of the Bay Area. Recycling locally reduces transportation costs, as well as the environmental harm that occurs when hazardous waste is shipped overseas for unregulated disposal.
