CompuCycle

Caveat Emptor!!! — they will not pay you for dropping off your electronics! Nor will they give you a receipt! If you want to donate your old tube tv they will charge you .25 per pound!

Good to get rid of the junk!

Pretty interesting place. If you need a good deal on an older machine check it out.

A great place to recycle old electronics. I’ve dropped off plenty of old CPU’s, keyboards, mice, phones, etc. Don’t let the name fool you, they also accept tons of household items that you may want to recycle as well — fans, hair dryers, kitchen appliances, etc.
It’s super easy. Just drive up, enter the driveway, follow the drive around and drop off your items. I’ve seen employees even help folks who need a hand with heavy items.
Do good for the environment. Recycle your old/​dead electronics. Do it here. This place is professional and organized.

Found this place on the official City of Houston website so I assume it’s a legit place.
Not in a great part of town but you wouldn’t expect this type of facility to be in galleria or anything.
Had to recycle old desktops and cell phones so the website states there is a drive through drop off behind their building. Front of the building is your normal office building strip and back is where the large trucks dock. There are palettes of electronic equipment everywhere but right by the entrance there are labeled palettes and boxes for different type of electronic equipment. Didn’t see a single person but the drop off was pretty self explanatory and easy.

I love the idea, and their prices. Anything that might reduce the mountains of discarded electronics in third world countries is good, but these people give something better than just the recycling, they give full refurbishment and if you can stand owning a Dell, some seriously low prices.
I am beginning to see a trend in the world of recycling (COH excepted) and that is most of the people working in it are enthusiastic and downright pleasant, this place was no exception. Bright, helpful and personable staff make a huge difference, but the real secret they have is the ability to say «I don’t know, but let me find someone to answer that question.»
I almost walked out of there with a laptop for around $ 200 but I have promised myself the next one is going to be a Mac.
