Professional e-waste removal for San Francisco 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 San Francisco 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 San Francisco — what we typically see

E-Waste Removal is not identical everywhere. These are the patterns specific to San Francisco and San Francisco County.

  • Worth knowing locally: San Francisco has a mandatory recycling and composting ordinance and requires construction debris to go to a registered facility, so nothing from a city job goes to landfill unsorted.
  • Disposal: loads from San Francisco go to Recology's Tunnel Avenue transfer station in San Francisco, where recoverable material is separated before anything is landfilled.
  • Bernal Heights: the local housing stock is Victorian and Edwardian flats stacked three and four units deep, with garage-level storage, light wells and no elevator in most buildings — which shapes what a e-waste removal job involves, stereo equipment and speakers included.
  • The Mission: e-waste removal jobs here regularly include cell phones, tablets and small devices.

    Certified recycling

Working in San Francisco, CA

We run e-waste removal jobs across San Francisco most weeks, from the Mission through to the Richmond.

What we find on a San Francisco job is shaped by the buildings themselves — Victorian and Edwardian flats stacked three and four units deep, with garage-level storage, light wells and no elevator in most buildings.

This is the hardest city in the region to work — permit parking, one-way streets, 20% grades in Bernal and Noe, and stair-only access to most upper flats — so we size the truck and the crew to the property rather than sending the same rig everywhere.

Loads from San Francisco go to Recology's Tunnel Avenue transfer station in San Francisco, where recoverable material is pulled before anything is landfilled.

One local detail worth knowing: San Francisco has a mandatory recycling and composting ordinance and requires construction debris to go to a registered facility, so nothing from a city job goes to landfill unsorted.

San Francisco customers on our e-waste removal

“Called at 9am about a sleeper sofa stuck in a third-floor walk-up and they had it out by 2pm. No damage to the stairwell, no drama, and the price was exactly what was quoted on the phone.”
Marisol R. · San Francisco, 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
“Storage unit I had been paying for since 2019. One phone call, they met me there, and it was empty and swept in under three hours. Should have done it years ago.”

E-Waste Removal in San Francisco — your questions answered

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

How much does e-waste removal cost in San Francisco?
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 San Francisco 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 San Francisco this is the hardest city in the region to work — permit parking, one-way streets, 20% grades in Bernal and Noe, and stair-only access to most upper flats — that is exactly the situation we are equipped for.
Do you cover all of San Francisco?
Yes — every neighbourhood, including the Mission, Bernal Heights, the Sunset, Noe Valley and the Richmond. We also serve the surrounding San Francisco 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 San Francisco?
Most San Francisco 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.
