Welcome to RE:Source! Your online directory for reuse, repair and proper disposal options for the Bay Area. Although we do our best to stay up-to-date, information is constantly changing and we encourage you to call ahead to verify hours and availability.
Medical Equipment & Surplus
Organizations are most able to accept reusable working equipment in good condition that can be cleaned and new/unused single-use materials in packaging. Offering items to the community through online platforms like Craigslist, NextDoor, Facebook Buy Nothing in your city group is an additional way to keep these items locally in circulation.
Corporate donations can find an accredited Medical Surplus Recovery Organization here and donate products to them.
