GreenCitizen was created to make sure electronic waste is not shipped overseas or dumped in landfills. Most electronic recyclers only recycle high value electronics, reselling them for a profit, before dumping the remaining low-value items. Here at GreenCitizen, we can accept anything that plugs in or runs on battery, regardless of it's potential value. We fix up and donate or resell any item that is salvageable. 25% of the items we collect are fixed up and reused. We recycle the other 75% of items in partnership with R-2 and E-steward certified recyclers within 150 miles of San Francisco. We recycle these items at a loss, but it is this economic sacrifice that allows us to divert thousands of pounds of electronics from entering landfills everyday. This has earned us the distinction of a For-Benefit Corporation.
