Professional e-waste removal for Berkeley homes and businesses

Electronic waste is regulated separately from ordinary rubbish in California, and for good reason. Old CRT televisions and monitors contain leaded glass, screens contain mercury lamps, and circuit boards carry heavy metals. All of it is prohibited from landfill disposal under the state Electronic Waste Recycling Act.

That is why your kerbside service will not take a TV, and why so many end up sitting in Berkeley garages for years. Ours is the alternative: we collect the item from wherever it is in the property and deliver it to a certified electronics recycler.

Old CRT televisions are the most common single item we collect — heavy, bulky, worthless and impossible to dispose of any other way.

E-Waste Removal across Berkeley — what we typically see

What we actually encounter on e-waste removal jobs around Berkeley, area by area.

  • North Berkeley: the local housing stock is brown-shingle and Craftsman homes near campus plus a heavy rental stock, which means constant end-of-lease furniture and mattress turnover every summer — which shapes what a e-waste removal job involves, printers, scanners and copiers included.
  • Elmwood: e-waste removal jobs here regularly include computer monitors and displays.
  • Around the UC Berkeley campus: we allow extra time for staging and access, and we regularly take office phone systems out of properties in this part of Berkeley.
  • West Berkeley: narrow North Berkeley hill streets, steep stair-only entries and student housing with no driveway access make hand-carry the norm rather than the exception.

How e-waste removal works in Berkeley

  1. 1

    Tell us what you have

    A single TV or a server room. Call 877-536-7941 for a Berkeley quote either way.

  2. 2

    Collected from anywhere

    Basements, upper floors, back offices. CRT televisions in particular are far heavier than they look.

  3. 3

    Data handled properly

    Where you need it, we arrange certified data destruction with documentation for your compliance file.

  4. 4

    Certified recycling

    Everything goes to a certified electronics recycler rather than to landfill, as California law requires.

Working in Berkeley, CA

We run e-waste removal jobs across Berkeley most weeks, from Elmwood through to Claremont.

What we find on a Berkeley job is shaped by the buildings themselves — brown-shingle and Craftsman homes near campus plus a heavy rental stock, which means constant end-of-lease furniture and mattress turnover every summer.

Narrow North Berkeley hill streets, steep stair-only entries and student housing with no driveway access make hand-carry the norm rather than the exception — so we size the truck and the crew to the property rather than sending the same rig everywhere.

Loads from Berkeley go to Berkeley Transfer Station in Berkeley, where recoverable material is pulled before anything is landfilled.

One local detail worth knowing: Berkeley has one of the strictest construction and demolition debris diversion ordinances in the state, so renovation loads need to be sorted for recycling rather than landfilled whole.

Berkeley customers on our e-waste removal

“Handled my mother's house after she passed. They set aside a box of photos and her papers that we would have lost, and they never once made us feel rushed. That mattered more than the price.”
Ellen W. · Berkeley, CA
“Eleven years of CRT monitors and dead PCs out of the back room, with destruction certificates for the drives. Exactly what our auditor wanted to see.”
Marcus O. · Santa Clara, CA
“Old fridge and a washer out of a basement with a very tight turn at the bottom of the stairs. They took the door off, got it out, put the door back. Total pros.”
Anita P. · Alameda, CA

E-Waste Removal in Berkeley — your questions answered

The questions we are asked most often about e-waste removal in Berkeley and the surrounding Alameda County area.

How much does e-waste removal cost in Berkeley?
Small electronics are usually folded into a general load at no meaningful extra cost. Screens are priced individually, with large CRT and rear-projection televisions higher than flat panels because of their weight and the cost of processing leaded glass. Tell us how many screens and roughly what type when you call 877-536-7941.
Why can I not just throw away my old TV?
California's Electronic Waste Recycling Act prohibits it. CRT screens contain several pounds of leaded glass, flat panels contain mercury lamps, and circuit boards carry heavy metals. Disposal facilities will reject them and kerbside services will not collect them.
Do you handle business IT decommissioning?
Yes. Office moves, refresh cycles and closures across Berkeley are a regular part of our work — desktops, monitors, servers, copiers, phone systems and networking gear, collected outside business hours where needed.
What about the data on the drives?
We can arrange certified data destruction with documentation. If you have a compliance obligation, tell us when you book so the chain of custody is set up correctly from the start rather than reconstructed afterwards.
Do you take batteries?
Small consumer and UPS batteries, yes, on the same collection. Large industrial batteries and anything leaking need specialist handling and we will refer you rather than take them.
Can you collect from an upper floor or a basement?
Yes, at no extra charge. Old CRT televisions can run past 150 pounds, and in Berkeley narrow North Berkeley hill streets, steep stair-only entries and student housing with no driveway access make hand-carry the norm rather than the exception — that is exactly the situation we are equipped for.
Do you cover all of Berkeley?
Yes — every neighbourhood, including Elmwood, North Berkeley, West Berkeley and Claremont. We also serve the surrounding Alameda County communities, so if you are just outside the city line we can almost certainly still help. Call 877-536-7941 and we will confirm in a moment.
How soon can you schedule e-waste removal in Berkeley?
Same-day is often possible in Berkeley. Because our disposal point is Berkeley Transfer Station in Berkeley, we can usually fit an extra Berkeley stop into an existing route.
