The Story of Electronics - Story of Stuff Project



At GreenCitizen, we believe that the first step towards a cleaner environment is keeping electronics running as long as possible. With this in mind, GreenCitizen is proud to offer both in-store and remote PC repair services! By keeping your computer running as long as possible, you cut back on the amount of e-waste created, and thus, the amount of e-waste in need of recycling. Having your system repaired can also save you money by preventing the need to purchase a costly new CPU. Let GreenCitizen help you keep your computer running like new. We offer two convenient options for repairs, either remote or in-store. Give us a call at (855) 2-ECOTECH for more information!

Identity theft is a growing concern when it comes to electronic waste recycling. To help ensure that your data is handled as securely as possible, GreenCitizen offers hard disk destruction services at all of our Eco-Centers. This three-step process starts by tracking each drive down to the serial number. Once tracked, hard disks are crushed using a Department of Defense standard hard disk crusher and then shredded in a certified hard disk destroyer. Upon completion of this process, GreenCitizen will send you a certificate confirming the successful destruction of all drives. When it comes to data security, you can never be too safe. Let GreenCitizen help put your fears to rest!

When your electronics have finally reached the end of their useful life, GreenCitizen is here to help you dispose of them in the most responsible way. We do this by partnering with a number of different recyclers around the greater San Francisco Bay Area, making sure each company we partner with is a Basel Action Network Certified E-Steward. This ensures that best practices are used when it comes to the breaking down of each item and toxic elements (Barium, Cadmium, Lead, Lithium, Nickel and Mercury, just to name a few) are removed in the safest way possible. All items are processed in the state of California, and none are ever dumped in landfill or shipped overseas.
