What we accept
Redwood Women's Foundation accepts nearly everything that plugs in or uses electricity, including smartphones, tablets, e-readers, video systems, computers, laptops, printers, and much more. Learn how to best prepare your NEW or LIGHTLY USED donation to RWF and what to expect when you arrive. While we do take most electronics, there are some things we don’t accept. We don’t require a fee for our recycling service, but we do have suggested monetary donation amounts for individual pieces of used hardware. These suggested amounts reflect the labor and cost estimated for screening and processing items for possible reuse. (Apple Products a plus++)Preparing your donation
