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 La Jolla La Jolla is hillside and cliffside housing where the access matters more than the volume. Homes on Mount Soledad have steep switchback driveways, cliff-side properties may be reached by a long stairway from the street, and the Village has narrow streets with heavy parking pressure. Estate clear-outs are a large share of the work here. We assess the approach before dispatch on Mount Soledad and Muirlands addresses — some driveways genuinely will not take a loaded box truck and we stage at the street instead. Village parking is difficult year-round; early mornings are considerably faster. UCSD nearby drives a student turnover cycle in June and September. ### 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. ### Getting a price in La Jolla We quote free on site, before anything is loaded, and the number does not change afterwards.

Those are the ones most haulers refuse, because of the leaded glass. We take them.
