I'm sure glad I found this place when I needed to dispose of some e-waste. It was fairly easy to find just off of Nimitz Hwy and they have a huge parking area. Once you park, they have some large bins you can roll out to your car to unload your e-waste. Roll it inside and drop it off. Easy as that. Staff were super friendly and helpful. I'll be back whenever I have stuff to recycle. Highly convenient place for e-waste disposal. read more

We had a lot of electronics stacking up, and the better half wanted it out of the house. We dislike throwing good working items away only to pile up in the landfill. She heard about this place and asked me to call them. I spoke to a gentleman and said what I have, and he said yes, they will take it. They would take it and take it for free. Don't use the map on Yelp as it will take you to the street before this place. If you do, go around the corner ewa side, and it will be on the right side. I pulled up, and a gentleman came to my vehicle and helped me take everything out. He told me they test things out to see if they work. If not, they try to fix or salvage what they can and recycle the rest. For the computers they can do a wipe of your hard drives for you so your personal information isn't out there. It makes .e feel good about getting rid of our electronics. read more

Staff were very efficient and nice! Avoid going there when they open as some customers can be down right nasty to other customers.

Conveniently located down Kalihi street and drop off was a breeze. Fantastic customer service from my phone conversation to in person at facility. Definitely will be coming here more often to drop electronic items off instead of the junk yard. read more

Old computers sitting at home taking up space, collecting dust, and don't wanna throw it out because "secrets" might be stolen or revealed on the hard drives in the computer? That was me. Not much secret, but definitely collecting dusts! Jason at E-Opala made things easy. I brought the old heavy dusty labtop in, he charged me only $10 dollars for take out the hard drive and destroy it in front of me in his huge "grander" machine. He has an amazing large computer recycling place that recycle as little as a personal computer like mine, to huge amounts of corporations and banks' computers. We need places like Jason's to recycle and keep the earth clean. read more

We recently upgraded our 2-year old laptops and a Surface Pro 6 to tablets as well as consolidated our document scanner and laser printer to a multi-function machine when we installed our new flooring. Interesting thing is that when we asked our nieces if they'd be interested in any of our older equipment they refused. Yes, we know how quickly hardware becomes outdated but, these were still in great working order and were at the time of purchase, top-of-the line products. We asked our niece who has 5 children if her children or she could use the laptops and/or tablet for work or play. Tsk, it suddenly became clear to us how we Americans want the latest and greatest so that's when we decided to look into having the equipment recycled or at least processed to someone who was in "need". I checked Yelp for e-recycling and came across this company and read its Mission Statement and how its founder, Jason Gruver, has dedicated his business to recycling based upon his hippie commune upbringing. So, we set off to drop off our "obsolete" electronics after reading about what Jason's company would accept. As we were on the way to E-Opala's drop-off site, I received a call from our niece who just changed her mind about our offer to give her the laptops and the Surface Pro 6 tablet. Meanwhile, my husband continued driving directly to E-Opala's drop-off site located in Kalihi anyway. When we approached the drop-off site, Jason was outside with another worker clearing his warehouse. He greeted us with a wave and smile. We let him know what we had left to recycle which, after reading his FAQ sheet, he doesn't accept. But, to our surprise, he recommended a non-profit organization (Goodwill Industries) which has multiple drop-off donation sites who would take the printer and document scanner. Long story short, we will keep E-Opala Computer Recycling Center in mind for future e-waste recycling and hope you'll do, too. read more

Amazing! Jason was so helpful: He unloaded my items for me and was really friendly. I felt so good about it. He accepted computers. a printer, keyboard, and mouses. What a great relief knowing things will be recycled or responsibly disposed. Thank you so much! read more

Have dropped off servers, storage devices, UPSs, UPS batteries, and pcs/laptops for disposal/recycling here. Drop off only (with no special wiping/destruction/inventory of drives) was free. If pickup is needed, e-Opala charges a very reasonable pickup fee (call/email for an estimate). Both drop offs and pickups need to be scheduled via their website. e-Opala can provide photo and list of equipment after disposal/drop off if requested. Payment for services via cc was straightforward via the emailed invoice link. Drives/tapes can be shredded with their mechanical shredder (approx $6/drive and $6/tape at time of this review). If more services are needed (eg. wiping + destruction + more detailed inventory of equipment) call for more info/latest pricing. Jason was very easy to work with via email or phone. read more

Love E-opala...They make recycling electronics SO easy...Jason and team is VERY helpful, knowlegable, friendly and professional..."MAHALO"... read more

What a great service! It's so refreshing to know that there's a company out there with scruples and who doesn't just want to dump unwanted electric waste in the nearest landfill. Jason was extremely prompt to my inquiry, less than 10 minutes to respond. It was a pleasure to meet him and learn about his objectives in making Hawai'i more environmentally friendly. It's a great business model and I wish him the best of luck. Highly recommend e-opala! read more

I Definitely will recommend my friends and anyone looking for an affordable home office setup that doesn't need the latest and greatest! I was looking for an affordable monitor for my home office. Jason hooked me up with an older model 23" for only $25! He explained the monitors don't have any recycle value so they either end up in a dump or if they're functioning he can resell them. Reusing is recycling! He sources his gear from companies that upgrade to new equipment so much of the things he has is still in great working order. He also threw in a free keyboard and mouse and took the time to find the cables I needed. He occasionally has older laptops he sells for cheap as well, I might have to pick one up for my toddler since he likes to "work from home" with me! read more

All aloha here! Donate and Save usable electronics from goin into the landfills by checking out this place!

Genuine stand up guy! Happy Holidays read more

Called first to confirm their location in which the offered "Look for 2 GREEN shipping containers in front" Yep. Was delighted to discover the staff there had a sense of humor AND eagerly removed our kaput TV & monitors from our car w/o prompting. Feels good to have spared unnecessary waste from our aina. Worth your effort! :-) read more

Why spend money on computer while you can pick one up literally for free and help save the environment? Plenty of good used computers go to landfill every day! Do you and others a favor! Take one home and reuse. read more

Easy way to securely dispose of your electronic equipment! Prices were very reasonable and the service was 5 Stars! Highly recommend!

Never knew this existed. There were things we brought that the guy at this business scratched his head about--they were so old and not useable? But he graciously took them to dispose of them responsibly i'm sure! Glad it's not ending up in a dump or elsewhere. read more

I called to see if my TV set and printers can be recycled, Jason said they were not accepting them at the moment, but he recommended a place that would! Thank you so much for such a helpful advice!!! read more

Super fast, friendly and trustworthy service. Dropped off my old computer and cell phone. Jason (owner) had me watch my harddrive and cell go through the shredder. Sent my Venmo payment and I was out of there in five minutes. Highly recommend. p.s. Jason gave the best directions to the shop...head down Kalihi Street until the dead end and turn right. Shop is right there on the right. Look for the big green recycling bins. read more

My son has been out of school because of covid and I needed a laptop so he could do homeschooling. I found Jason's ad on fb market place and messaged him because he had a MacBook Air at an awesome price. After a few messages back and forth, I went down to see him and he was very helpful from start to finish. I knew my daughter would be upset if I didn't have a computer for her, luckily Jason had another he was working on. He had said if anything goes wrong, I could bring it back. He had posted another one and because the price was so amazing, I couldn't resist getting a third. Jason offers friendly helpful service and I couldn't be any happier. I'm a mom on a budget but with the help of awesome people like Jason, important needs are being met. Thank you so much for all that you do Jason! read more

Jason and Denis were awesome! I brought in a Macbook pro that I have carried from various cities in the mainland to Japan and back to Hawaii, holding on to the hope that one day I could have a running Macbook again...I'm glad I kept the faith! Denis got her running and reinstalled it in a nicer cleaner body case so it looks new! read more

Great service and quick response! Had to dispose of a lithium ion phone battery and they were very helpful. Dropped it off, no problems. There's a dropbox right outside where you can leave e-waste which is very convenient. Definitely a great option for disposing of laptop and phone batteries. read more

Got a couple monitors and a mouse from them so I could work from home. They are very friendly and helpful

The only place I found on the island that actually recycles electronics! Jason also works with organizations around the island & donates computers to schools/students that are in need. My Beats By Dre headphones broke recently & didn't want to just throw them in the trash, so I dropped them off at E-Opala & Jason happily took them! I feel better knowing that they won't just end up in the dump. Super friendly & thoughtful guy. Mahalo! read more

got a couple of ipads and a macbook air. justin and a lady employee (didn't get her name) were friendly. overall great customer service

Jason offers a great place to safely and conscientiously recycle old laptops, desktops and other electronics. He was willing to destroy a hard drive (at my request) by running it through his shredder while I waited. He insured it was destroyed and put my mind at ease by immediately showing me the shredded pieces. Jason can also "wipe" hard drives and re-purpose old computers. He is responsive to phone calls and willing to share candidly about his services. Highly recommended! read more

Awesome place that does a great community service. Owners are really nice guys and super helpful !

E-Opala is a great place to dispose of your unwanted computer towers. Keep your electronics out of the landfill and E-Opala will repurpose your equipment to kids that need computers. Picked up a few working monitors for free & saved them from going to the landfill. Mahalo Jason read more

Awesome Company! What a great way to help keep usable electronics out of the dump and put them back into circulation for those who need them. This is the only company I know that helps individuals as well as businesses by accepting usable e-waste and re-circulating it to companies or businesses that can't afford brand new equipment. read more

After picking up an outboard motor and 2 tires on a clean-up dive out of Ala Moana Harbor in 2014, I lucked upon finding E Opala. I left the motor and tires on my front porch and they came by while I was at work! So glad I didn't have to dump them in a land-fill. read more

Highly recommended. A quick in and out for my old electronics that I did not want to put in the landfill. I will be back.

I never know what to do with my old electronics and cell phones. This is the answer! And it stops the stuff from going in our landfill !
