Electronics & E-Waste Recycling in Orange County
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 Orange County. 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 Orange County
Orange County is the most HOA-governed market we work in, and that changes the job in practical ways. A large share of communities here prohibit items being staged at the kerb, restrict working hours, and require contractors to be cleared at a gate before arrival. The upside is that access, once you are in, is generally excellent — wide streets, long driveways, three-car garages, and room to work.
Give us the community and gate name when you book and we will get on the list ahead of time rather than losing an hour at a guardhouse. County facilities — Frank R. Bowerman in Irvine, Olinda Alpha in Brea, Prima Deshecha in San Juan Capistrano — cover the north, centre and south of the county, and green waste goes to composting as a separate load. The inland canyon fringes have enforced fire-season brush clearance requirements.

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.
