Old electronics can’t just be tossed in the trash — and in California, it’s actually illegal to do so. TVs, computers, monitors, printers, phones, and other devices contain hazardous materials that require certified disposal through licensed facilities.
OC Junk Haulers handles e-waste pickup across Orange County and ensures every device is directed to a certified recycling facility. You stay compliant, the material gets handled responsibly, and you get your space back.
What we haul:
Electronics contain a mix of valuable and hazardous materials — lead, mercury, cadmium, chromium, and brominated flame retardants, among others. When these end up in landfills, they leach into soil and groundwater, creating long-term environmental and health risks.
California’s Electronic Waste Recycling Act (SB 20/SB 50) bans the disposal of covered electronic devices — including TVs, monitors, and laptops — in regular trash or landfills. Violations carry fines for both consumers and businesses.
The good news is that most materials inside electronics are highly recoverable. Certified e-waste recyclers extract metals like copper, gold, and silver for reuse, keeping valuable resources in circulation and hazardous substances out of the environment.
