Yes — most junk removal companies, including OC Junk Haulers, take electronics. And in California, this is more important than you might realize: it’s actually illegal to throw most electronics in the regular trash.
TVs, computers, monitors, printers, phones, and other devices contain hazardous materials that require certified disposal. A good hauler ensures your old electronics get routed to a certified e-waste recycler — not dumped in a landfill.
Learn more on our e-waste removal page, and read on for what makes electronics disposal different from everything else.
Electronics aren’t like other junk. They contain hazardous substances — lead, mercury, cadmium, and flame retardants — that make improper disposal both dangerous and illegal in California. The state’s Electronic Waste Recycling Act bans tossing covered devices like TVs, monitors, and computers in household trash, and violations carry fines.
The scale of the problem is significant. Discarded electronics are estimated to account for around 70% of the heavy metals found in U.S. landfills, despite making up only a small fraction of total waste volume. That’s why certified e-waste handling matters so much.
When OC Junk Haulers picks up your electronics, they’re directed to certified recycling facilities where valuable materials like copper, gold, and silver are recovered, and hazardous components are safely neutralized. You stay compliant with California law, and your old devices are handled exactly the way they should be. Just point to the pile — we’ll take care of the rest.
