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 San Diego San Diego’s older neighbourhoods — North Park, Normal Heights, Golden Hill, Mission Hills — are full of 1910s to 1940s Craftsman and Spanish bungalows with detached garages down long shared driveways and, unusually for Southern California, basements. Those produce genuinely deep estate clear-outs. The beach communities are a different market entirely, dominated by rental turnover and garages full of surf and dive gear. Canyon-adjacent properties across the city — and San Diego has a lot of them — often mean a long carry from house to street. Beach neighbourhood parking in Ocean Beach and Pacific Beach is difficult in summer, so weekday mornings are much faster. Miramar Landfill and the city’s greenery and recycling centre serve most of the city, with green waste kept as a separate composting load. ### 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 San Diego 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.
