Renew Computers, founded in 1988, is the largest independent electronics recycling company in Marin County, California. We have a warehouse facility and service center centrally located in downtown San Rafael where computers and electronics are collected, sorted, repaired, reused or properly recycled.
We have a staff of qualified technicians that work hard to bring these computers back to life and fortunately we are able to reuse many quality products that would otherwise go to landfill or be scrapped. In addition to our recycling center, we operate a discount parts warehouse, retail store and service department.

Services
You must hand items directly to a Renew Employee; dumping or just leaving items anytime is not allowed. We can help unload heavy items as well. Plasma/LCD/LED TVs and rear-projection TVs (We don't accept the original boxing/packaging). Please remember to remove any linked accounts on your devices like Apple ID, etc before recycling/donating.
Below is a general list of the refurbished Desktops and Laptops that we offer here at Renew Computers. These machines may have come from a school or corporation or organization that have upgraded to newer equipment, or they may have been donated by the public or built from the ground up using quality used parts and/or new parts too.
Our team also specializes in PC and Apple computer repair and service. We have extensive knowledge of all computers new and old and remain up to date with the current threats facing today's modern user. We try to keep our rates lower and our turn-around time faster than other shops in Marin, especially the big box stores.
Our Computers for the Community Program was created to provide discounted desktop and laptop computers to members of our community who may not be able to afford a full price machine. These computers are the same as our standard Renew builds except we are now able to offer them at a reduced cost to you.
This service is done quickly in our shop while you wait and you may personally witness its destruction. If not concerned about your data you may drop off any hard drive or computer at no charge; It will be shredded at our downstream recycler within one to two weeks. Please take measures to wipe or clear your own devices before recycling them.

The customer service is exceptional. They have serviced my computers and have advised when a computer is worth the cost to repair versus purchasing a new one. They have assisted me with many many silly questions of mine, have never made me feel inadequate (dumb) for not knowing all the language associated with computer world. I will continue to support their business and continue referring others. I thank them

As a longterm customer (think back to the days when they were located on Andersen Drive), I rely on Renew Computers for almost everything electronic-related. This employee-owned company is customer-centric. I find them to be knowledgeable and helpful, and they treat this senior citizen with respect. They even stayed open late for me one evening. I have recommended Renew Computers to friends and colleagues, and will continue to do so.

I'm helping a family member with a hoarding situation and they have a couple of computers they are afraid to part with. Renew was able to download the hard drive onto a flash drive for me from an old Dell desktop! And then took the old computer off of my hands. All in one service. I'll be using them for my own unused laptops.
If you have elder family members who need help decluttering, check out Renew.
