Our Mission
Founded by a Northern California local who built a career in the entertainment industry, Tech Toss recycles e-waste and repurposes salvageable technology for educational and philanthropic purposes. Through community partnerships and involvement, we aim to “bridge the digital divide” by making technology accessible to all.
We achieve this by hosting educational workshops on topics like computer basics and software foundations. Additionally, resale programs and events provide low-cost computers and devices to help individuals overcome barriers to their personal and career goals. By partnering with Tech Toss, you support our mission of creating a more inclusive and equitable digital landscape.

E-waste Recycling
Devices or equipment that can’t be refurbished will be properly recycled according to state standards. We also ensure that personal information is completely erased from personal devices before refurbishment or recycling.
