What Our Customers Say
I love that there is a place to recycle electronic items responsibly. No overseas shipments; all are disassembled here and taken care of in an environmentally sound way. The small price they charge is totally worth the environmental impact. It’s not realistic to think there is no cost for safe disposal. Very helpful staff, easy to drive in, safe and fast. I appreciate the data destruction option, too.
The staff at Green Citizen were incredibly informative, helpful and courteous.The process of dropping off computers and hard drives for destruction was so quick and simple. They have an efficient set up. I highly recommend them and I will definitely be going back to them when I have additional items to recycle. It’s an impressive organization.
Green Citizen makes electronics drop-off easy and friendly. We’ve been taking our stuff there for years. Best of all, I have confidence that they handle everything appropriately and responsibly. I’m happy to pay to dispose of things like old video tapes with them because I know how they will treat my discards – with as little environmental impact as possible.
The fellows who picked up our items were super nice and did a fantastic and neat job getting everything into one box. They do good work! It was a pleasure dealing with everyone in the office, too.
Everything went very smoothly. We got the heads up call as requested and the 2 gentlemen that came out didn’t require any additional assistance from us which is a huge deal as we are constantly busy here. Very professional and we’ll be calling you again when we have some more recycling that needs to be done.
Awesome experience!!! Had an old CRT-TV that I needed to get rid of. Pulled up and they came to the car and pulled it out. Friendly and helpful! Will definitely bring all ewaste to Green Citizen in the future.
Yes, the pickup went well. The guys were very nice and I’m very glad to have gotten rid of all that stuff. Thanks!
Thanks for checking in! Your staff are amazing, very accommodating and respectful.
I’ll definitely do the feedback later when I got time.

Why Recycle Your Old Computers and Electronics?
Recycling your old or broken computers is crucial for both the environment and your business. Electronic equipment, from used computers to outdated technology, contains hazardous materials, like lead, mercury, cadmium, that shouldn’t end up in landfills. By choosing to recycle instead of simply throwing away or discarding your electronics, you help reduce harmful waste and conserve valuable resources.
Many states have enacted electronic waste recycling laws that require manufacturers to offer recycling programs for their products. These laws ensure that consumers have access to convenient recycling options for their used electronics. On the federal level, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) oversees the disposal of electronic waste under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), setting standards for safe and environmentally sound recycling practices.
At GreenCitizen, we make it easy to dispose of electronics responsibly. Whether you need to get rid of outdated equipment or secure data destruction, we provide safe, efficient, and compliant recycling solutions. Don’t throw out or discard your electronic equipment carelessly—opt for a solution that protects both the planet and your company’s data security.
