New Tech for the Holidays? Safe E‑Waste Disposal and Recycling Guide

New devices under the tree mean old electronics to clear out fast. If you upgraded TVs, laptops, tablets, or gaming consoles this December, proper electronics disposal protects your data and the environment. New Haul Junk Removal offers professional E‑Waste Removal, TV Disposal, Computer Recycling, and Printer Recycling across Los Angeles County, Orange County, Riverside County, and San Bernardino County—so your home stays clutter-free and compliant with California rules.

Can I throw electronics in the trash in California?

No. California prohibits landfilling many electronics because they contain hazardous materials like lead, mercury, and lithium. Items such as TVs and monitors, computers, printers, tablets, phones, and loose batteries require compliant handling through certified e‑waste channels. You can use local drop‑off events or schedule a pickup. New Haul Junk Removal collects eligible e‑waste and routes it to certified downstream recyclers, keeping harmful materials out of landfills and simplifying the process for busy households.

What New Haul can take today

• TVs and monitors (flat‑screens and CRTs)
• Desktops, laptops, tablets, and e‑readers
• Phones, smart watches, and smart home devices
• Gaming consoles, controllers, and accessories
• Printers, scanners, copiers, and fax machines
• Routers, modems, hubs, cables, chargers, and peripherals
• External hard drives and media devices

Note: Loose household batteries and chemicals are managed through county household hazardous waste programs. If you have them, we’ll guide you to the nearest compliant drop‑off.

Quick data‑wipe checklist before Computer Recycling

• Backup important files to an external drive or cloud account.
• Sign out of iCloud/Google/Microsoft and deactivate “Find My” features.
• Remove SIM and SD cards; deauthorize streaming and app logins.
• For phones and tablets: perform a factory reset.
• For computers: encrypt the drive (if supported) and do a secure erase or restore to factory settings.
• Separate any old hard drives you want physically destroyed; we’ll route them to certified processors for shredding.

Make pickup easy in Southern California

Apartment towers in Downtown LA or Irvine? Reserve elevator and loading dock windows. Street parking tight in Santa Monica or Anaheim? Share curb restrictions and street sweeping times. Gated communities in Riverside or San Bernardino? Provide gate codes and note low‑clearance areas. Sending photos during booking helps us dispatch the right crew and truck to complete your E‑Waste Removal in one efficient visit, often same‑day or next‑day.

Holiday clutter strategy: pair tech recycling with packaging cleanup

December deliveries generate mountains of cardboard and plastic film. Combine electronics disposal with a packaging purge to reclaim space before New Year’s:

• Flatten and bundle cardboard; keep it dry and tape‑free when possible.
• Keep bubble wrap and plastic film separate; don’t place them in curbside recycling.
• Stage small devices and cables in clear bins for fast, accurate loading.
• Label items “recycle” or “data‑wiped” to speed processing.

If you also swapped furniture for holiday hosting, we can bundle TV Disposal with furniture removal in a single appointment.

Sustainable electronics disposal that fits California expectations

Californians care about responsible recycling. Our process prioritizes material recovery for metals, plastics, glass, and circuit boards through certified partners (e.g., R2/e‑Stewards certified facilities), while ensuring hazardous components are handled safely. By avoiding landfills and maximizing recovery, you support local sustainability goals and reduce your environmental footprint during the busiest season of the year.

Fast solutions for homes and offices

Home users benefit from quick pickup windows, careful handling in tight stairwells, and floor protection. Businesses get after‑hours service to avoid disrupting operations, plus itemized receipts for inventory and compliance. Whether you’re clearing an office of old printers or retiring a family room’s outdated entertainment setup, New Haul delivers efficient Electronics Disposal with transparent pricing.
