E-Waste & Electronics Removal

Old TVs and computers can't go in the trash, and the City's hazardous waste facility doesn't take them either. We pick up electronics from anywhere in the home or office and get them to proper e-waste recycling.

How do I dispose of a TV in San Diego?

Take it to an electronic waste recycler, not the trash. California treats many electronics as hazardous, the Miramar Landfill requires TVs and e-waste to be properly disposed of before a load enters, and the City's HHW facility does not take electronics. Pacific Haul & Wash picks up TVs and electronics for proper recycling.

What counts as e-waste?

E-waste is any unwanted device with a circuit board or screen: TVs, computer monitors, laptops, desktops, printers, phones, tablets, game consoles and stereo equipment. CalRecycle explains that some electronics, such as old CRT TVs and devices with mercury lamps, are regulated as hazardous waste in California.

Protect your data first

Back up anything you need, then wipe or remove hard drives and phone storage before pickup. We do not provide certified data destruction, so keep or destroy drives that held sensitive information.

Remove loose batteries from remotes, tools and devices. Batteries are hazardous waste in California and belong at a battery drop-off or household hazardous waste site.
