From Daily Candy comes another of their great reminders. The Computer Recycling Center (CRC) takes all computers and electronics - working and nonworking - and warehouse overstocks of parts and equipment: Computers, Network, Telephone, Cellphone, Office Electronics, Industrial Electronics. (Recycling for Computers, Laptops, Electronics, eWaste, and eRecycling) Scrap computers and parts are reduced to recyclable metal, plastic, P.C.Board, and cable. Drop off centers in the San Francisco Bay Area are listed on their site, and pick ups are available for qualifying businesses with multiple donations.

Founded in 1991, it is the largest and oldest continuously operating full-service collection, reuse, and refurbishment program in the USA. Working with businesses and municipalities, CRC’s participation in collection and drop-off programs diverted over 6 million pounds of computer equipment from landfills last year. Reuse of entire units is given highest priority, followed by disassembly for reuse of parts, and finally recycling for the elements of unusable remaining items.

CRC’s mission is to promote the highest and best re-use of computer and electronic equipment, and recycle unusable items to keep them out of landfills.

If you have equipment gathering dust, or plan to replace in the coming gifting season, please remember to keep electronics out of landfills and utilize this exceptional service.
