No. We believe in recycling and reuse every day.
And we feel we provide a way for that to happen.
So, why wait? Or, come next month.
Whatever works for you. We're here all year long.
Except we don't work weekends or holidays.
WE'VE MOVED!
WOW, do we love our new space! But, we're still hard to find, so here's the trick...Our driveway is on the right, just past building 24, and across the street from Accurate Smog of Marin in building 19. We've made a sign to sit under the tree where you should turn in. If you miss it, fret not! Keep going, past Michael's Sourdough, and take the driveway around the outside of building 46. If you follow it all the way around the back of the building, you'll get the "scenic loop" before arriving at our roll-up door, #3. Watch for deer!
The traffic can get a little tight in front of our drop-off door, so please show respect for our neighbors and local delivery drivers by not blocking any other doors, vehicles, or traffic lanes. Even for a moment. Even a little bit. Our facility has one roll-up door (#3) for accepting equipment, and one glass door for our internet "lounge". You may park in any available spaces, and we will try to keep carts available for easier unloading.

Responsibly Recycling Electronics
Computers, Printers, Monitors, TV's, VCR's, Stereos, Phones, & MORE, plus ALL their Accessories and Media
For FREE!!!
Household or Office, Working or Not - WE WANT IT!!!
*CRT and LCD devices (TVs, monitors, laptops, etc.) from addresses outside the State of California are
subject to recycling fees of $.50/lb, and can only be accepted at our sister facility, ACCRC, in Berkeley.
We REQUIRE a physical street address (P.O. Boxes are not acceptable) for everything brought to us.
NEW: We now accept small appliances such as Microwaves, Toaster Ovens, Blenders, and Coffee-Makers PROVIDED THEY ARE CLEAN. (no "science projects", please!)
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 are a non-profit 501 (c)(3) corporation.
The equipment that you bring to us is tax deductible. Your kind financial donations are also tax deductible.
If you need help erasing your hard drive, we have a hard drive wiping service available. There is a fee of $10.00 per drive wipe.
We can pick-up from your home or office with our cargo van. We charge a flat fee of $100 per van load. Please call to arrange a Tuesday or Thursday appointment, and allow 2-4 weeks notice.
Your choice - to be a part of what we do - is something to be proud of. With your help, we are bringing your neighbors and your community tools that will help them survive in the Information Age. Without your help, we can do nothing. We hope that you will choose to support what we do...with your equipment, and financially as well.
We give old computers new life by placing refurbished products with non-profit organizations, schools, libraries, victims of fire and tragedy, and low-income and disabled households. Our volunteer technicians produce computers every week from your donations, to help organizations and families that would not otherwise have the means to obtain this technology. We continue to provide free computers and equipment to local organizations like these, just to name a few:
Marin Housing Authority
Marin County Regional Occupation Program (ROP)
Hamilton Elementary School
The MARS Radio Service
San Francisco Child Abuse
Prevention Program
Marin Center for Independent Living
Elpida House
Canal Community Alliance
Swords into Plowshares
Big Rock Sudbury School
Your tax-deductible equipment donations help us to provide no cost refurbished equipment to schools, non-profits, and the disadvantaged. We are in constant need of supplies, equipment, and services. If you have something we need and would like to help, please let us know.
Volunteers come to us from all walks of life to apply for hands-on experience with building and testing computers, monitors and printers that they would not ordinarily have access to. People who are working off Community Service hours also apply at MCRC to help support our organization while we support our community.
What do we do with the stuff we can't bring back to life? We recycle it! All unusable material is shipped to our sister facility in Berkeley, and then broken down to component parts and channeled to the appropriate recycler. We take great care to ensure that our waste products are handled in environmentally friendly ways, and not shipped overseas to become someone's else's toxic nightmare.
Please come in and drop off your electronic equipment at the Marin Computer Resource Center, and know that you are a part of what we do.
