Our Mission
To raise the global standard for responsible recycling by offering easy, affordable, and environmentally sound solutions for electronic waste disposal and reuse. Our goal is to help individuals and organizations reduce waste, recover value, and protect the planet.
“Rica Recycling has been a trusted business partner of ERC for over a decade. We handle the proper recycling of their CRT monitors and televisions. It's been amazing to see their growth over the past couple of years.”

100% Landfill-Free Commitment
Rica Recycling ensures that no e-waste ends up in landfills. We work exclusively with EPA-registered and R2-certified processors across California. Our facility uses advanced methods to:
Recover precious metals from circuit boards and components
Refurbish and resell working electronics
Reduce greenhouse gas emissions and resource extraction
The refined materials—such as steel, aluminum, copper, plastic, and glass—are transformed into new products or reused within the supply chain.
Supporting the Bay Area Community
We proudly partner with local governments, nonprofits, and schools to host free electronics drop-off events and recycling drives. Through these partnerships:
Nonprofits gain funding from shared value recovery
Businesses get convenient and compliant e-waste solutions
Bay Area residents reduce clutter and environmental impact
Our community-first model gives back while keeping toxic waste out of landfills.
