Re-PC: Recyled, Refurbished, and Retro

Electronics recycling can be quite expensive or difficult if you are going through your regular trash service. For example, at my town's recycling events, monitors and TV's aren't accepted, and other electronics incur a standard landfill fee. But many electronics can be refurbished or responsibly broken down into components for scrapping.

Re-PC is an electronics recycler with 2 locations in SoDo and Tukwila, that allows individuals to recycle electronics for free: simply drop off the items you no longer want. If you have a working item that still has value (think: laptops that are only a couple years old), you can sometimes sell them to recoup some costs.

In addition to the recycling, Re-PC is also a store where you can purchase anything from new overstock, to refurbished items that others have traded in, to as-is components.

This is absolutely an awesome option for when you don't need or want to pay for new. T purchased a cheap monitor here for our home security cameras. It was going to be sitting in a closet and used rarely, so why do we need the prettiest or best resolution, latest and greatest?

This store is also great for older models: need tapes for your mini-DV camera?

Or perhaps your new puppy chewed on your remote?

Think of all the options too for kids in STEM, computer science, or robotics classes and clubs. You can buy them all the components they need to build various projects with much less risk. Just a few examples of the components they have. Keyboards for just $2:

Whether you are getting rid of items or shopping, an electronics recycler near you can save you $$$.
