From Sonoma down to Salinas, and east to Sacramento. Tell us your zip code and we'll point you at the box nearest you — we reply within 24 hours.
Shaded counties are where we place boxes. Tap one to see the cities and communities we collect in.
Our Richmond sorting facility sits in Contra Costa County, near the middle of it all.
Our boxes sit in publicly accessible spots and take donations at any hour — there's no opening time to work around. We don't publish a public map of every one, but tell us roughly where you are and we'll reply with the closest ones, usually the same working day.
Boxes move as partnerships change, so asking gets you a current answer rather than an out-of-date pin on a map. If you'd rather talk it through, call (510) 932-3839 during office hours.
120 cities and communities across 12 counties, from the North Bay to the Monterey coast. If your town is on this list, there's a box within reach — ask above and we'll tell you which one.
This is our collection area, not a list of box addresses. A town appearing here means we operate there; the form above tells you exactly where to go.
Every box you find through us is owned, placed, and emptied by Recycle for Change. Our name and logo are on it — no licensing deal, no third party operating under a borrowed charity name.
Some partners give theirs a character of their own, like this one. The green paint and the logo stay the same.
Bags go inside the chute rather than on the ground beside it — anything left outside is exposed to weather before we reach it.
Through Give Back Box you can send clothes and shoes to us from anywhere in the United States, using a cardboard box you already have.
Schools, businesses, worship houses and local governments can host a collection box at no cost. It's how our service area grows.
We bring a barrel, you gather the neighborhood, and we collect it when it's full. No cost, no minimum, no contract.
Overflowing, damaged, or covered in graffiti? Tell us where it is and we'll have it resolved within 48 hours. Prefer to call? (510) 932-3839.
