    Pile of what I needed recycled
    Galen W.

    Spectacularly easy! We were cleaning out the garage and old office stuff and had 5 laptops, 1 desktop, and 3 disk arrays that we needed recycled AND date wiped/secured. [Note: the trash haulers I talked to that take everything, including electronics would have been happy to remove the PCs and disks BUT they do not wipe the drives.] I phoned GreenCitizen and asked if I needed to do any special preparation of the equipment. I was told to just come on down. I did. I parked and was immediately met by the woman I'd talked to on the phone. (She has a slightly non-standard name which I didn't catch when we talked and I don't see it on the receipts, but she is praiseworthy!) She helped me unload my trunk, prepared an estimate, and completed the transaction in about 5 minutes. Very low key. Very professional. Thank you!

    Do you list any computer equipment that is for sale and can be picked up?

    They list their inventory on the eBay web store. Most of the items can be switched to local pickup if you ask the eBay rep by clicking "Contact the Seller" under the item you are looking at.… 

    What types of payment does GreenCitizen accept? I called, and no one answered my call. I've looked on their website and couldn't find it. For example, Cash, Credit, Debit,…

    Everybody accepts cash and I would expect GreenCitizen will have to accept credit cards in order to be in business in the 21st century. But that's just an educated guess.

I tried…read moreto look for a place that would pay me for the junks and found this place from local PennySaver in the mail. On some school e-waste collection events, they even wanted to charge me $10 or $20 for bringing them the junks...no thank you. I was paid $0.35/lb for computers (59 lb) and $0.11/lb for the TV (44 lb). I collect a bit over $25 for the e-waste, which is pretty good. Actually, I brought in two 40 inch LCD TVs and another customer at the parking lot asked to purchase one TV for $10 thinking of trying to repair it. Overall, it's a great experience. Customer service was quick and friendly.

Not only was he cursing at me, but he also called me a "dick," which is completely unacceptable behavior for someone running a business. To make matters worse, I was instructed to unload and move my own pallet of batteries for recycling. After I had already done the work, I was suddenly told I couldn't continue because I was wearing Birkenstocks. If that was actually a safety policy, one of the employees could have easily told me before I started unloading instead of waiting until I was finished. When I was told I had to wait in my car, I simply walked over to my vehicle, and the owner continued insulting me by calling me a "dick" as I left. Customer service and basic professionalism were completely absent. There are plenty of other recycling businesses that treat their customers with respect. I would definitely recommend taking your business elsewhere.

They acknowledged. On Sunday, I received a call around 12:30pm from their driver who told me he couldn't get here until 3/3:30pm. I said that wouldn't work, and asked to reschedule. The driver said he would call me back in half an hour because he might still make it. At 1:51pm I received a text saying they needed to reschedule and offered me a discount. I asked when they could reschedule. They told me anytime I wanted on Monday. So I rescheduled for 12pm on Monday. At 12pm, no one called or showed up. So I messaged them on Yelp and by text. The response I received on Yelp was to call them. When I called, the rep put me on hold for 7 minutes to look up my appointment only to come back and tell me that they wouldn't be able to show up until maybe 2pm. They've wasted nearly 3 hours of our time on a weekend and wanted us to wait another 2 hours without any assurance that they will actually show up. To add to the frustration, when I told the rep to cancel the quote appointment, she had tithe audacity to tell me to wait on the phone while she entered the cancellation. Just cancel the appointment, and don't make a frustrated customer wait for you to do it! I hate having to write bad reviews but they wasted 3 hours of my time with terrible service and zero results accomplished! We will never consider their services again.
