Computer Recycling in Corte Madera
Retire the equipment. Keep the records.
When your business replaces its computers, getting the old ones out of the office is only part of the job. You also need to account for the equipment and protect the company data it holds.
GreenCitizen offers computer recycling in Corte Madera with pickup directly from your workplace. We track major devices individually, offer secure data erasure or physical destruction, and provide documentation for your records.
Business pickup is free with five or more qualifying items. Smaller loads can still be collected for a logistics fee, quoted before scheduling.

Get DirectionsWhy Corte Madera Businesses Choose GreenCitizen for Computer Recycling
An office equipment upgrade should not turn into a separate disposal project. GreenCitizen helps your team finish the job with fewer arrangements and a clear record of what happened to the retired hardware.
We Pick Up From Your Workplace
You don't have to send employees across Marin County with boxes of old electronics. Stage your equipment in an accessible location, and we come to your business to pick it up.
Every Major Device Is Accounted For
We log major equipment in AGTAMS, our AI-powered GreenCitizen Total Accountability Management System. Each item gets a unique tracking ID, so your records go beyond a simple count of recycled computers.
Your Data Destruction, Your Choice
Some drives can be securely erased. Others need physical destruction. You choose the appropriate service, and we document the work. If a drive fails erasure, we physically destroy it at no additional cost.
Pickup That Fits Your Business Schedule
An office move or equipment replacement can come with a tight deadline. Our intake form lets you request urgent pickup, including service within 24 hours or same-day collection for requests submitted before 11:00 AM, subject to availability.
Computer Recycling in Corte Madera: Local Options vs. Business Pickup
Corte Madera businesses already have a local system for routine garbage, recycling, and compost collection. Separate e-waste collection can also be arranged.
But retiring business computers is different from disposing of ordinary recyclables. The equipment may contain customer information, financial records, or internal company files. Simply collecting it doesn’t complete the data security side of the job.
Eligible businesses can also take electronics to the Marin Household Hazardous Waste Facility in San Rafael. It accepts computers, monitors, printers, and other office electronics. Business drop-offs require an appointment during designated weekday hours, and fees apply.
That’s a useful recycling option, particularly for businesses comfortable handling transportation and data preparation themselves.
GreenCitizen offers another approach. We collect the equipment from your Corte Madera workplace and give you a way to document the devices and their data destruction.
| What Matters | Taking Electronics to a Local Facility | GreenCitizen Business Pickup |
|---|---|---|
| Transportation | Your team arranges delivery | We come to your workplace |
| Scheduling | Work around business drop-off appointments | Request a pickup window, with urgent options |
| Device tracking | Maintain your own asset inventory | Unique AGTAMS ID for each major item |
| Data security | Arrange secure data removal separately | Choose software erasure or physical destruction |
| Documentation | Confirm what records the facility provides | Destruction certificates and recycling reports available |
| Cost | Applicable facility fees and employee time | Pickup free with 5+ qualifying items; additional services may cost extra |
For an office retiring multiple computers, the difference is more than convenience. It’s being able to close out the equipment inventory with supporting records.
What Your Corte Madera Business Receives After Pickup
The equipment may be gone, but your responsibility for it doesn’t disappear with the pickup truck.
GreenCitizen provides documentation options that help IT managers, office administrators, and sustainability teams answer what happened to the retired equipment.
- Item-Level Tracking Records: Major devices are assigned unique AGTAMS IDs. Your team can connect retired equipment to an individual tracking record instead of relying only on an overall weight.
- Certificate of Destruction: Available for $5 per device when you choose data erasure or physical destruction. Each certificate is matched to the relevant tracking ID, creating a documented record of how the data was handled.
- Weight Reports and Certificates of Recycling: Available on request to support environmental reporting, internal recycling records, and waste diversion calculations.
These records are especially useful when your business needs to reconcile old IT assets, respond to a client security questionnaire, or report on its electronics recycling activities.
A Bay Area Electronics Recycling Partner Since Earth Day 2005
GreenCitizen began on Earth Day in 2005 with a focus on responsible electronics recycling in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Since then, we’ve recycled 34,006,783Â pounds of electronics, serving 75,019Â business customers and 414,161Â individuals.
Those numbers reflect two decades of working with businesses that need a dependable way to retire equipment without overlooking environmental responsibility or data security.
Reuse Before Material Recovery
Functional electronics are evaluated for possible reuse. Equipment that cannot be reused is directed toward responsible material recovery.
Processing Within the United States
We work with downstream recycling partners certified to R2 and e-Stewards standards. Electronics are processed domestically rather than being exported overseas for disposal.
Recognized Data Security Practices
Our data erasure services follow NIST SP 800-88 guidelines. DoD 5220.22-M methods are also available when required by a contract.

Stage items at ground level, at a loading dock, or near an elevator. Remove BIOS/EFI passwords, Apple Accounts, Device Enrollment Program enrollment, and MDM locks.
Locked devices can still be collected, but they can't be sanitized and won't count toward free pickup.

Questions? Contact pickup@greencitizen.com or call (650) 493-8700 ext. 103.
Items and Services With Additional Fees
Certain equipment requires a separate recycling fee, including printers, copiers, sealed lead-acid UPS units, and items weighing over 100 pounds.
Optional data security services are priced separately:
- Software data erasure: $5 per device
- Physical data destruction: $20 per device
If your business has fewer than five qualifying items, we can provide a quote that includes the pickup logistics fee.
Important: Remove BIOS/EFI passwords, Apple Accounts, Device Enrollment Program enrollment, and MDM locks before pickup. Locked devices can still be collected, but they cannot be sanitized and do not count toward the five qualifying items.
