Upon arrival we were surprised it was a house, but not to worry! Simply drop the e-waste items on their front porch and text them to let them know. Extremely fast, easy, contactless, and convenient! Highly recommend supporting this local and small business.

Absolutely painless way to recycle old or unneeded electronics. Drop off was super simple, instructions were easy to understand and completely hassle free. I was really thankful for the variety of electronics equipment they accept since I had accumulated dozens of redundant or outdated items over the years. I love that equipment can be dropped off any time of day, it’s very convenient when most other recycling places are only open Monday through Friday.

Had a few bulkier items that were e-waste. Messaged the business and got a prompt response regarding what they could take. Ended up having to pay $5 for the service, but was super easy and convenient to drop off. Would come again.

I contacted Reducing Ewaste for the company that I work for because they wanted to recycle some monitors, keyboards, etc. The process of it all was very easy and simple, and I was glad to have gotten such a fast response from Cameron each time I had a question. Cameron came to the office and picked up all the items that the company wanted to recycle. I highly recommend to anyone, whether you are a person trying to de-clutter your office space, or a business. Thanks for all the help Cameron!

Spoke with Cameron and dropped off an old Dell laptop, HP scanner, and a pair of Rabbit eared TV attennas. Easy communication. Highly recommend for dropping off old electronic equipment. Especially if you live close to the Silver Creek, Evergreen, and East San Jose area.

I had some old computers to get rid of and this location was along the way during one of my trips. They took these old stuff off my hands and I am grateful for how quick and easy it was done. Highly recommend this location if you also need to unload old computers.

Super convenient drop off location. I dropped off a desktop, old laptop, and damaged monitors. I needed to get rid a lot of electronic junk because it was taking too much space. They made the process extremely easy, no questions asked. No problems at all, very thankful that the location was so close.

I called the number and was given simple instructions where to leave my e-waste. I got rid of old computers, computer parts and so much more random junk. I was able to free up space in my garage. This was way too easy, highly recommended!
