Old TVs are one of the most awkward items to get rid of. They’re heavy, fragile, and they can’t legally go in the trash in California. Most recycling centers don’t offer pickup. Hauling one yourself is a two-person job and a hassle.
OC Junk Haulers makes TV removal simple. We come to you, carry it out from wherever it is — wall-mounted, in the garage, stacked in a spare room — and ensure it’s properly recycled through a certified facility.
What’s included:
California’s Electronic Waste Recycling Act prohibits disposing of TVs, monitors, and other covered electronic devices in household trash or landfills. The reasoning is straightforward: older TVs — especially CRTs — contain up to 8 pounds of lead per unit, along with other hazardous materials including mercury and cadmium.
Even modern flat-panel TVs contain materials that require certified handling. When these devices end up in landfills, those substances leach into the soil and groundwater over time.
Certified e-waste recyclers dismantle TVs systematically — recovering metals for reuse and safely neutralizing hazardous components. When OC Junk Haulers picks up your TV, it goes to one of these certified facilities, keeping you compliant and keeping hazardous materials where they belong: out of the environment.
