Electronics & E-Waste Recycling in 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 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 Los Angeles
Los Angeles is not one hauling market, it is about forty of them. A job in Highland Park means a 1910s Craftsman with a detached garage down a shared driveway; the same job in Koreatown means a fourth-floor unit in a 1960s courtyard building with one small elevator and permit parking on every side. We have crews who know the difference before they arrive, which is mostly what determines whether a pickup takes forty minutes or three hours.
The City of Los Angeles offers residents free bulky-item collection through LA Sanitation — genuinely worth using if your timeline is flexible, and we will tell you so. What it does not solve is a same-week move-out, an item that has to come down from a third floor, or anything the city classifies as excluded. Our loads go to certified transfer and materials recovery facilities, and for construction debris we deliver to the certified processors the city requires for permit sign-off.
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.
