Why E-Waste Disposal Matters in California
California law (SB 20/SB 50) prohibits throwing most electronics in the trash. TVs, computers, monitors, and laptops contain lead, mercury, cadmium, and other hazardous materials that contaminate groundwater and soil when landfilled.
Fortunately, California also has an established e-waste recycling infrastructure. When you call 911 Junk CA, your old electronics go to certified e-waste processors who recover precious metals and safely dispose of toxic components.
Electronics we remove include: computers and laptops, monitors and TVs, printers and scanners, phones and tablets, gaming consoles, stereo equipment, VCRs and DVD players, fax machines, and more.
What Does E-Waste Removal Cost in Orange County?
E-waste removal pricing depends on the number of items:
Single item (TV, computer, monitor): $75–$125 Small collection (3–5 items): $100–$175 Large electronics cleanout: $175–$350
Orange County also has free drop-off options at local household hazardous waste facilities — but these require you to transport items yourself and have limited hours. If you have more than a few items, or large heavy TVs, professional pickup is more convenient.

How to Prepare for E-Waste Pickup
Before our crew arrives for e-waste pickup in Orange County:
1. Wipe all personal data from computers, phones, and tablets (factory reset or use a data destruction tool) 2. Remove batteries from devices where possible — these require separate recycling 3. Gather all items in one accessible location 4. Disconnect cables and accessories — we take those too
We recommend using a secure data wipe before any electronics leave your home. Once items are processed at recycling facilities, data recovery is possible for items not properly wiped.
