E-Waste Recycling: Don't Throw Your Old Electronics in the Trash

Old TVs, computers, and phones contain toxic materials AND valuable components. Here's the right way to dispose of them.

5 min read

Americans generate 6.9 million tons of e-waste annually. Only 15% gets properly recycled. The rest goes to landfills where lead, mercury, cadmium, and other toxic materials leach into groundwater.

Many states now ban electronics from regular trash. Fines range from $25 to $1,000 per violation depending on the state. Even where it's technically legal, it's environmentally irresponsible.

The good news: electronics within their useful life still have resale value. Flat screen TVs less than 6 years old, gaming consoles, desktop computers, laptops, tablets, smartphones, audio equipment — all have buyers.

We handle e-waste properly: items with resale value get sold (you get 50% credit when applicable). Items past resale life go to certified e-waste recyclers who dismantle them safely, recovering metals and components while containing hazardous materials.

One pickup, everything handled. Old TVs, monitors, computers, printers, cables, phones, tablets, gaming systems — we take it all. No sorting required. Starting at $100/hr with dump fees included (an industry first).
