1 Green Planet

I’ve been using 1 Green Planet for 4 years now and they are great as they simply get the job done. I work in IT and at least once a year we have to purge all our old, obsolete, and broken equipment. Other recycle’s I have tried have too many restrictions on what they will take but 1 Green Planet has been hassle free. I load up my pallets, they haul it onto their truck and boom! Good by junk.

Unlike the other reviewer, I have never seen 1 Green Planet sell any used items on CL before.
What I know they are good at is coming to a business location to pickup items that they will recycle for free which saves me the time and hassle of transporting them to recyclers or to the local garbage site (where I have to pay a fee for some items).
I have had them pickup used electronics, metal racks, appliances and various other metal items with no problem.
Only real issues I have had with them is showing up for scheduled pickups, following detailed instructions as to where items have been placed or not taking everything.
If you have items that are on their list of acceptable recyclable materials, I highly recommend contacting them to have the items picked up.

I was looking for an old DVR unit so I could connect some A/​V equipment and searched around on Craigslist for one.
1 Green Planet had a used unit posted with the model number I needed but they would only correspond with me via text message and insisted that I be at their facility by 3pm which I did. At that time I purchased the unit which was connected to an analog TV (mine is HD so the test wouldn’t mean anything). When I got home and the unit didn’t work, I checked and realized that actually it was a completely different model than advertised AND it was throwing up that the «hard disk was corrupt». My bad.
At that point I again had to connect with the person at the company via text message (again, wouldn’t take my call) where she proceeded to accuse me of swapping the hard drive! Very unlikely considering the model is both obsolete AND one that was not correct in the first place… I asked to talk to a supervisor, she said she’d ask and get back the next day (she didn’t). 5 days later I pinged her and she replied she talked to him and the super said no, all sales final. When I asked her to look at it from my point of view:
1. I ran out there to work within their schedule.
2. Bought the unit in good faith.
3. Realized later that it was not the right model number NOR even worked.
4. Was accused of stealing the hard drive when I contacted back about it.
She responded with another accusation, this time of harassment (???) for even questioning her (even though she accused me of swapping out a hard drive).
Anyway, my loss, but I recommend not working with these folks. VERY shady…
