FAQs

Questions? Call (619) 953-4655.

Can I just throw away electronics in the trash can?

Not only is it illegal to throw your electronics in the trash can in California, but it’s also extremely harmful to the environment. Electronic waste contains various hazardous chemicals, including metals like lead, cadmium, and mercury, as well as organic compounds like flame retardants and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). When disposed of improperly, these toxic substances can leach into water bodies, soil, and air, contaminating ecosystems and posing serious risks to both human and environmental health. But we are here to help for FREE! Give us a call.

How do I recycle my electronics?

We provide multiple options for recycling your electronics. You are welcome to drop off your e-waste during our business hours. Additionally, we offer complimentary e-waste pickup services for eligible customers. To review our pickup policy, see the pickup details above or contact us.
