MCRC keeps hazardous electronics waste out of the landfill.
We are an authorized eWaste collector. CEWID #100285.
We give away electronics that we refurbish and test to schools libraries, non-profits, and disadvantaged individuals.
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 $25.00 per drive wipe.
We can pick-up from your home or office with our cargo van or truck. Please call for fees, and to schedule an appointment. 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 can use, or you would like to help, please let us know.
Volunteers come to us from all walks of life to receive hands-on experience while building and testing equipment that they would not ordinarily have access to. People who need to fulfill Community Service hours may also apply at MCRC. Our volunteers are vital to our program, and help support our organization while we support our community. No previous experience is necessary!
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 or volunteer at the Marin Computer Resource Center, and know that you are a part of what we do.
