Convenient:

You can drop off your old, unwanted or surplus electronics at our warehouse anytime during normal business hours - six days a week.  We accept all electronics and related items whether they are in working condition or not.  We do not purchase used computers from individuals, however we may purchase large equipment lots from corporate sources and welcome the opportunity to bid on available material.  For heavier equipment our staff will help you unload at our loading dock.  Please let us know that you are dropping off items; a Renew staff member must know and receive your items.  

 

Free:

There is never a charge to recycle the accepted electronic items listed above. We ask that you include all accessories such as power cords, remote controls and any documentation and/or original software and restore discs if possible. This will better allow these machines to be refurbished and returned to use. We aim to reuse as much equipment as possible.  Items donated do not have to be in working condition. 

 

Data Security:

We offer a hard drive destruction service for $10/drive which can be done quickly while you wait and witness.  If you wish to have your data files saved to disk/external drive or transferred to a new machine we have a fully staffed service department to assist you; Fees  apply and will vary depending on the amount of data.  For businesses in need of data destruction on a larger scale we are fully equipped to wipe or destroy all types of hard drives from any office environment using effective industry standards.  Please note this process is permanent and irreversible.

 

E-Waste Disposal: Where it goes

Older electronic equipment not capable of reuse will be properly recycled either in our facility or transferred to a State approved recycler for proper disposal in accordance with current environmental law and industry standards.  Items and equipment brought to our facility will never be processed overseas or end up in a landfill.
