e-Cycle is the Tri-Valley area's largest and oldest electronics recycling processing center. We provide electronic waste (e-waste) recycling services for the Tri-Valley area. We cover Livermore, Dublin, Pleasanton, San Ramon, Danville, Blackhawk, Sunol, and beyond.

e-Cycle is not a business. It is a private operation existing as an eleemosynary for the benefit of the local community. The operation barely pays for itself. It is a place where people are welcome to come and be a part of something special, while learning to become unto Liberty.

e-Cycle currently accepts all electronic waste at no charge. Drop-offs are free. We charge a $35 fee for pick-up services. The fee may be waived for large loads (we reserve the right to define "large"), or for schools, the elderly, or those physically challenged. Please see our item list for an example of what we take for recycling. Please note: we do not do business with banks, therefore we request payment in cash, barter or trade.

e-Cycle is located at 2082 Research Drive, in Livermore. We are over by the Lawrence Livermore Labs.

We are generally open from noon to 6:00pm, Monday through Friday, and sometimes on Saturday. If you don't find anyone here, feel free to leave your items by our door with a note containing your name and phone number in case we need to ask you any questions. If you prefer you can make an appointment for a drop-off outside of our normal hours or otherwise.

e-Cycle accepts any computer or consumer electronic item that runs on electricity or batteries, working or not. Virtually 100% of all items that we receive are recycled and converted into new products. Nothing goes to landfill. In fact, we recover items unlawfully dumped at our local landfill and properly recycle them. Check out our items list to get an idea of the kind of items we take for recycling.

Because re-use is the best way to recycle, e-Cycle refurbishes and provides computers and electronic goods at no cost to local schools and charities upon request. We do this because we believe in supporting our local community.

Under no circumstances do we ever take fluorescent bulbs, chemicals, paint, "disposable" batteries or other "hazardous" materials. Please take those items to the Alameda County Household Hazardous Waste drop-off facility in Livermore. If they won't take it, bring your items to your local representative's office and I'm sure they'll be happy to dispose of them for you.

We can no longer take VHS tapes.

We take all scrap metals and electrical/industrial scrap, including plastic scrap. We also take your old car and lead-acid batteries, as well as any re-chargeable batteries. Sorry, due to venal politicians, we can no longer take disposable batteries.
