Electronics & E-Waste Recycling in Downtown Los Angeles
TVs, monitors, computers and e-waste collected and taken to a California-approved recycler, with data-bearing drives handled securely.
The Junkiez provides same-day electronics & e-waste recycling in Downtown Los Angeles. TVs, monitors, computers and e-waste collected and taken to a California-approved recycler, with data-bearing drives handled securely.
Electronic waste is classified as hazardous waste in California. It is illegal to put a television or monitor in your household bin, and the CRT tubes in older sets contain several pounds of leaded glass each. We are set up to collect e-waste in volume and deliver it to an approved collection and recycling facility, which matters more than it sounds if you are an office clearing out forty workstations.
Electronics in Downtown Los Angeles
Downtown is a building-management market more than a residential one. Almost every pickup here runs through a loading dock, a freight elevator with a booked time window, and a building engineer who wants a certificate of insurance naming the owner as additional insured before anything moves. Converted lofts in the Historic Core add their own wrinkle: freight elevators in hundred-year-old buildings are small, slow, and occasionally out of service.
We book dock time and issue COIs as a matter of routine here — send us the building’s requirements when you book and we will handle the paperwork rather than turning up and being refused entry. For Arts District office and studio clear-outs we schedule after hours, which most buildings require anyway and which avoids the loading-dock queue entirely.
What we take
- Televisions — flat screen, plasma, projection and CRT
- Computer monitors, desktops, laptops and tablets
- Printers, scanners, copiers and fax machines
- Servers, switches, routers and networking gear
- Stereo equipment, speakers and receivers
- Game consoles, DVD players and set-top boxes
- Phones, cables, keyboards and peripherals
- UPS units and batteries
It is hazardous waste, legally speaking
Under California’s Electronic Waste Recycling Act, CRTs and most display devices are universal waste and cannot go to landfill. You already paid an eWaste recycling fee when you bought the device. We deliver to an approved facility so the leaded glass, mercury backlights and circuit-board metals are handled under that programme rather than crushed into a landfill cell.
