Professional e-waste removal for Palo Alto 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 Palo Alto 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 Palo Alto — what we typically see

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

  • Professorville: the local housing stock is Professorville Craftsman landmarks and Eichler tracts in Midtown and Barron Park, where flat roofs and glass walls limit how debris can be moved out — which shapes what a e-waste removal job involves, cables, routers and networking gear included.
  • Old Palo Alto: e-waste removal jobs here regularly include gaming consoles and peripherals.
  • Around Stanford University: we allow extra time for staging and access, and we regularly take office phone systems out of properties in this part of Palo Alto.
  • Midtown: Eichler homes have atriums and narrow side passages rather than conventional side yards, so removal routes have to be planned before the crew arrives.

How e-waste removal works in Palo Alto

  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 Palo Alto, CA

Palo Alto sits in Santa Clara County, and our crews cover it as part of their regular weekly route.

Palo Alto is Professorville Craftsman landmarks and Eichler tracts in Midtown and Barron Park, where flat roofs and glass walls limit how debris can be moved out, and that determines how a e-waste removal job actually runs.

Access is the other factor. In Palo Alto, Eichler homes have atriums and narrow side passages rather than conventional side yards, so removal routes have to be planned before the crew arrives.

Everything we collect in Palo Alto is routed through Sunnyvale Materials Recovery and Transfer Station in Sunnyvale rather than the nearest convenient hole in the ground.

It is also worth knowing that Palo Alto has an aggressive zero-waste policy and protected heritage trees, both of which constrain how demolition and yard debris are staged and removed.

E-Waste Removal in Palo Alto — your questions answered

The questions we are asked most often about e-waste removal in Palo Alto and the surrounding Santa Clara County area.

How much does e-waste removal cost in Palo Alto?
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 Palo Alto 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 Palo Alto Eichler homes have atriums and narrow side passages rather than conventional side yards, so removal routes have to be planned before the crew arrives — that is exactly the situation we are equipped for.
Do you cover all of Palo Alto?
Yes — every neighbourhood, including Old Palo Alto, Professorville, Midtown and Barron Park. We also serve the surrounding Santa Clara 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 quickly can you get to Palo Alto?
Most Palo Alto jobs are scheduled within 24 to 48 hours, and same-day is frequently available. Call 877-536-7941 and we will tell you honestly what today actually looks like.
