About Us

GreenMouse is a specialized IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) and technology lifecycle services company helping organizations securely retire, recover value from, and responsibly process end-of-life IT equipment.

We support enterprises, government agencies, educational institutions, insurance, technology and growing businesses with services that span the full IT asset lifecycle—from decommissioning and logistics to secure data destruction, resale, and certified electronics processing.

Unlike traditional ITAD providers that rely on fragmented downstream vendor networks, GreenMouse operates in an integrated environment with EcoVault, an R2v3-certified electronics processor located within our shared facility. This structure enables a more direct, controlled, and traceable path from asset collection through final processing.

Our Focus

We operate at the intersection of three priorities:

• Security – protecting sensitive data and ensuring controlled asset handling
• Value Recovery – maximizing reuse, refurbishment, and resale opportunities
• Sustainability – reducing waste through responsible lifecycle management

Our Mission

GreenMouse exists to make IT asset retirement secure, transparent, and efficient, while also creating meaningful workforce development opportunities through hands-on technical training and employment pathways.

We help organizations retire technology the right way—securely, responsibly, and with measurable value recovery.

GreenMouse, Inc. was founded in 2005 by Silicon Valley veteran Evelyn O’Donnell, who brought together a background in high-tech marketing and sales with a simple but powerful vision: to create a company that could help organizations manage retired technology in a way that is secure, responsible, and beneficial to both business and community.

From the beginning, GreenMouse has focused on more than just the physical handling of retired equipment. The company was built around the idea that technology at the end of its useful life still carries value—whether that value is data security, material recovery, reuse potential, or community impact through job creation and training opportunities.

A core part of GreenMouse’s mission has always been workforce development and community engagement.

In 2010, GreenMouse partnered with the City of San Jose and the work2future employment program to launch the Green Cadre program, providing at-risk young adults with hands-on training, job experience, and pathways into the workforce. This initiative was recognized with the Community Builder Award from the City of San Jose.

GreenMouse has also participated in Santa Clara County’s “Intern & Earn” program, helping under-skilled high school students gain real-world experience in technology processing, logistics, and operations—while earning income and building career foundations.

These programs continue to reflect one of GreenMouse’s core beliefs: that responsible business should also create opportunity, dignity, and economic mobility.

Reuse First. Recovery Second. Recycling When Needed.

GreenMouse follows a reuse-first approach to IT asset disposition whenever practical.

Technology that retains functional life or market value is evaluated for testing, grading, refurbishment, and resale, helping organizations recover value from retired assets while extending the useful life of equipment.

When reuse is not viable, materials are directed into responsible R2v3-certified processing through EcoVault, ensuring that end-of-life electronics are handled in accordance with established environmental and processing standards.  

Responsible Technology Management, Done Right.

Whether an organization is refreshing a small fleet of devices, managing a large-scale enterprise IT refresh, relocating offices, or decommissioning a full data center, GreenMouse provides the experience, infrastructure, and project management expertise to support the entire process.

From initial planning through final disposition, our focus remains consistent:

Protect data. Maintain accountability. Recover value. Support sustainability.

GreenMouse, Inc. is located at 1968 Alpine Way, Hayward, CA 94545 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.
