E-Waste Removal Service in Orange County

E-waste removal pricing in Orange County

E-waste pickups price by the item or the truckload fraction — the handling fee at certified recyclers sets the floor, so the minimum is real. A single TV pickup runs $75–$150, an eighth of a truck $99–$175, and a quarter truck $175–$300 (per haulawaypro 2026). CRT TVs and monitors carry an upcharge at most recyclers — lead glass costs more to process — and we quote it upfront, never as a surprise on pickup day. You approve the price before anything is unplugged.

Ranges are typical for Orange County (per haulawaypro 2026); your on-site quote is the final price. Recycler minimums mean single small items (a phone, a cable box) are cheapest added onto a larger pickup.

What we take (and what we don't)

• TVs and monitors — flat screens of any size, plus CRTs (upcharge quoted upfront). Rear-projection and console sets count as bulky items.
• Computers — desktops, laptops, tablets, servers. Hard drives go straight to the data-destruction stream (see below).
• Printers, scanners, copiers — ink and toner cartridges pulled and handled separately.
• Phones, stereos, game consoles — small electronics of every era, cables and accessories included.
• Small appliances with circuit boards — microwaves, coffee makers with displays, and the like.
• Batteries: flagged separately — loose lithium batteries are a fire risk in a pile. Bag them apart or tell us where they are; we handle them on their own stream.

What we can't take: wet paint, chemicals, solvents, fuels — that's Orange County household hazardous waste event territory, and we can point you to the next one.

California e-waste rules, plainly

Electronics cannot go in California landfills or regular trash — covered devices (CRTs, flat screens, laptops, and most computer equipment) must go through certified e-waste recyclers. Retailer take-back programs exist, but they don't haul a truckload of old monitors out of your garage. We route every e-waste load to certified recyclers and give you the paper trail on request — the load, the recycler, the date. No dumpster-diving risk, no fines, no guessing.

Data destruction: your drives, your call

That old desktop isn't just a desktop — it's your tax returns, your photos, your passwords. Wipe your drives before pickup day. We recommend a full wipe or physical destruction, and we can coordinate a certified data-destruction add-on if you want the certificate. One promise: we never access your data — drives go straight from your curb to the destruction or recycling stream, unopened.

How e-waste pickup works

• List the items: TVs, computers, printers — photos help, and tell us about any CRTs so the upcharge is quoted upfront.
• Approve the price: per-item or truckload fraction, on-site, before anything is unplugged.
• We carry it out: stairs, garages, storage units — you point, we lift.
• Certified recycling: the load goes to a certified e-waste recycler, with the paper trail available on request.
