About Us

GreenMouse, Inc. was born in 2005 out of a simple, heartfelt mission: to make it easier—and more responsible—to dispose of unwanted waste. Evelyn O’Donnell, a Silicon Valley veteran with a background in high-tech marketing and sales, founded the company with a vision to build a purpose-driven business that could also create real opportunities for under-skilled youth and adults.

In 2010, we proudly partnered with the City of San Jose and its work2future employment program to launch the Green Cadre program—offering at-risk young adults valuable training and job opportunities. Our efforts were recognized with the Community Builder Award from the City of San Jose, and we’ve continued to participate in Santa Clara County’s “Intern & Earn” program, helping under-skilled high school students gain meaningful work experience (and earn a little cash along the way!).

At GreenMouse, we’re guided by three key goals:

1. Provide responsible IT management services that help keep our environment clean and healthy.
2. Create training and job opportunities for under-skilled high school students and young adults.
3. Contribute to our communities’ economic and social strength by creating green jobs.

Being nestled in the heart of Silicon Valley—right near San Jose Airport—lets us serve Santa Clara County and beyond, including Alameda, San Mateo, Contra Costa, and San Francisco Counties. Our reach covers all local cities, too: San Jose, Santa Clara, Campbell, Los Gatos, Saratoga, Cupertino, Sunnyvale, Los Altos, Mountain View, Palo Alto, Fremont, and San Francisco.

Most of the e-waste we collect is processed right here at GreenMouse, Inc., where it helps create local jobs. For items like televisions and monitors, we follow all the rules and regulations under California’s Electronic Waste Recycling Act (SB 20). That program sets up a system to make it easy for Californians to responsibly manage their old electronics—keeping them out of landfills and putting them to better use. 

GreenMouse, Inc. is located at 529 Race Street, San Jose, CA  95126 and serves Northern California.

For business collections, GreenMouse, Inc. will pick-up most electronics; there is a minimum pick-up fee based on the type, quantity and location. Please call for specifics. 

We provide our customers with confidence that their end-of-life equipment will be managed according to the rules and regulations set forth by the State of California (Department of Toxic Substances Control) and have created a single set of standards that serve as a basis for adhering to these guidelines. Further, GreenMouse, Inc. is committed to following the responsible recycling “R2” guidelines, which are voluntary practices used to assess and certify electronics recyclers’ environmental, health and safety, and security practices. Our goal is to keep e-waste from being sent for processing outside of the United States (i.e., China, Africa, India) or “dumped” in landfill.
