About Us
Surplus Service is an E-Waste Management, E-Waste Recycling and liquidation company in the San Francisco Bay Area that specializes in a variety of electronic disposal services.
We put an emphasis on reuse over recycling, a practice known as upcycling. As the UpcyclIT® leader, our goal is to provide eco-friendly solutions that lead to the reuse of electronics rather than just having them recycled or end up in a landfill. This helps exceed Zero Waste policies and regulations and we save you taxes by avoiding the fees paid to recycle electronics and equipment. Our E-Waste Solutions and electronic disposal services are a far more eco-friendly sustainable environmental option.
Why Partner With Us?
The U.S. produces 9.4 million tons of e-waste annually—more than any other country. On top of that, 60%-80% of the used electronics produced in the U.S. are shipped overseas to places like Guiyu, China, which has become the world’s e-waste dumping ground. Surplus Service, one of the expert Waste Disposal Company in SF Bay Area, reduces the amount of electronics that become obsolete, which stops the problem at the core. The process also comes with considerable tax savings.
