About this center
Renew Computers has operated since 1988 and calls itself the largest independent electronics recycling company in Marin County. Its DuBois Street warehouse and service center in downtown San Rafael collects, sorts, repairs and reuses computers and electronics, with a retail store, discount parts warehouse and service department alongside the drop-off.
Computers, laptops, monitors, TVs, audio and video gear, phones, networking equipment, small appliances and cables come in free, while printers, fax machines and microwaves carry a per-item fee. A staff member receives every drop-off, leaving items unattended is not allowed, and the team helps unload heavy loads. Light bulbs, alkaline batteries, large appliances and scrap metal are refused. Renew is a CalRecycle-authorized e-waste collector and offers hard drive destruction.
