What clients say about GreenCitizen, Inc. in Burlingame (CA)
I had a fourteen year old desktop and two old monitors, arrived at 10:10 AM on a Monday and was on my way just a few minutes later. This is the place to go! Very clear web site instructions and well organized.
Super easy to recycle styrofoam and misc. electronics/cords/etc. that end up accumulating over time. Follow the signs to enter the lot, unload, and finito! Friendly and informative staff. First time visit at their non-SF spot - if you’ve ever parked at long-term off-terminal SFO parking you’ve driven right past it (it’s ok, you were in a hurry).
Super deceptive with their mail in device services. They make it seem like the charge your paying for is covering your shipping. Also, conflicting marketing--on their webpage it says tablets are free to recycle. Go to recycle page--psych. You pay for them. Bit of a scam, if you ask me. Don't fall for it.
Love this place for styrofoam and electronic waste recycling, including secure destruction of hard drives! Very reasonably priced given what they’re actually able to recycle, and everyone there is so nice.
I really appreciate that Green Citizen helps recycle so many things from styrofoam to electronics. I frequently visit them and sometimes bring things I am uncertain of and they will give me a quick assessment if they can take it or not. The drop off is easy and the location is very convenient. Some things have fees but they are very fair.
The people are always friendly and very helpful. I appreciate this business very much and hope more people can recycle things here.
Such great customer service! Jay was amazing, I called and spoke with him and when I arrived he personally helped me with a TV! I will be back this service is top notch!
Went to drop off an old 50” TV that didn’t work anymore. Maxim was super friendly! He helped me unload the TV and even helped direct traffic for me as I pulled out of the drop off zone! Great service! All I had to do was fill out a quick form and they took it for free! The whole process took ~5 minutes. Highly recommend recycling your old electronics here!
Wish I found them sooner! Was able to recycle my styrofoam. Drop off was easy and efficient. The attendant was very polite and helpful. Highly recommended!
GreenCitizen is my go-to place for recycling anything that plugs in. They also took my non-working laptop, and for $20 made sure the hard drive was wiped clean and the broken in half. Thanks for being an environmentally friendly place to get rid of things that are irreparable.
We just used Green Citizen for the first time today. We have had a collection of computers, monitors, laptops and miscellaneous items that were accumulated over many years. Jay was very helpful and accommodating and with the amount we had even offered free pick up. The two gentlemen that arrived to pick up were very nice and polite. We are happy that this company will be re-purposing and donating this equipment and they offered us safe data protection on our side. Will recommend to anyone looking for an e-waste solution.
I drop off monitors and old electronics for my job and this place makes it so much easy to recycle e-waste. TV’s and monitors are free to recycle and $1/lb for other things like printers, cords and other electronics is a great price.. I’ve only come to this place so not sure of any place cheaper.
The customer service is excellent!
It was my first time using Green Citizen, and I really appreciated how simple the process was. Recycling the TV was completely free of charge. Maxim was incredibly kind and helpful, which made the whole experience very pleasant. I would definitely use their service again if I get the chance.
Really easy place to recycle electronic items - some things are free, some cost per item and some per pound. They help figure it all out pretty quickly, and the staff have always been friendly and helpful. Remember to check the website before you go to know what they accept.
Excellent service. I have used it for styrofoam, wires/electronics and related stuff. Fast, efficient, very cost effective. A great service for the environment.
I appreciate Green Citizen's transparency in the recycling process - it is unique among electronic recyclers and makes me confident my e-waste is not being dumped in a poor country with no resources to process it. Also, their staff is super helpful and efficient when you arrive to unload stuff.
This is the first time I’ve used Green Citizen. I called because I wanted to ask to see if they could take a broken sump pump. I spoke with Angelina, who was incredibly helpful. When I dropped my items off, I met a very friendly worker named Maxim. I absolutely love the service they’re providing and way they work!
Had a great experience dropping off 2 old computers (1 desktop and 1 laptop). It was quick, easy and Maxim was very helpful. Would highly recommend GreenCitizen!
I have dropped off old electronics twice here over the years. Very straightforward process and pricing both times. Maxim helped me today and I had a great experience overall.
I’ve recycled many electronic products here. The people who work here are very helpful. Easy to drop off by pulling in near the door. Hard drives and computers are free, but they offer to destroy the drives for an additional fee. I had a bunch of cables and wires to get rid of, $1 a pound for those. Pro tip: instead of backing out to the street you can drive around the parked trucks for a convenient exit.
I've always had an excellent experience dropping off electronics at the Green Citizen in Burlingame. Always greeted by super friendly staff. It super easy to drive in and drop off the electronics. I believe the person who assisted me today was Maxime, he was super helpful and had great customer service.
An exceptional company that makes electronics recycling effortless and environmentally responsible for our tenants. Their staff is friendly, professional, and highly efficient, ensuring a smooth experience from start to finish. I appreciate their commitment to sustainability and secure data destruction. Highly recommend GreenCitizen for anyone looking to make a positive environmental impact.
I definitely recommend recycling electronics at Green Citizen. I recycled my flat-screen TV here, and the experience was quick and easy. Pulled up my car to the back entrance stop sign, a friendly employee by the name of Jay quickly came out to help me unload the TV, I filled out a form, and was done. The whole process took about 5 minutes.
My only constructive feedback would be that their hours are only Mon-Fri from 10AM-6PM which makes it hard for people with regular working hours to get to. If there were limited hours on a weekend day it would have made things more convenient, but overall I'm very satisfied with my experience.
Would highly recommend for electronic recycling. Very easy drop off at their door, and their staff was super helpful. Angelina and Max unloaded all my items and helped me fill out the form, and I was finished in less than 5 minutes. I had recycled old PC parts, a tablet and old phones for free, and I also paid a very minimal charge ($3) for a bag of old chargers and headphones. Easy process and I'll return for future recycling needs.
My first time coming here and had a great experience. Convenient location, no wait time at all and I was able to drop off a huge bag if Styrofoam for only $5. Shanell was super friendly and even let me know that they take a lot of electronics for free and even do free pickup for your business! I will definitely return. Anything to keep one less item out of the landfill :)
LOVE the convenience of this fabulous recycling service in our community! anything we can do to keep Styrofoam and other unwanted electronic items out of our garbage is a blessing. I had a bunch of light fixtures that came in boxes with Styrofoam and I wasn’t sure what to do with them until I found Green Citizen. Right off the 101 and into their driveway for an easy drop off! The people working there are friendly and helpful too. I highly recommend this incredible business.
