Reliable computer and laptop recycling

As technology evolves, upgrading your devices shouldn’t mean cluttering your home or office. 1-800-GOT-JUNK? provides a full-service solution for recycling old computers, laptops, printers, and other electronic accessories. Because many local waste management companies refuse to accept electronics with regular trash, we offer a specialized, eco-friendly alternative. Our professional, insured teams handle everything from the initial pickup to responsible disposal, often on the same day you call.

Responsible computer and laptop recycling

Computers and laptops contain harmful chemicals, so recycling them properly is crucial to prevent pollution and protect the environment. If your device is in good condition, you can also consider donating it to a thrift store or local charity.

  • Electronic parts (steel, glass, copper, aluminum, iron, plastics, and precious metals) can be recovered and repurposed into new products. Visit the Government of Canada’s E-waste page to learn more.

1-800-GOT-JUNK? is committed to sustainability by ensuring your items are given a new life. Visit our repurposing page to learn more about how we repurpose your items and contribute to a healthier planet.

How our computer and laptop disposal pricing works

We charge by volume, which is how much space your items take up in the truck. We have a minimum charge for very small loads; from there, prices go from 1/8th of a truck up to a full truckload. We also have special pricing if you only have one single item. We can give you an exact price once we see the items in person.

Our prices include everything

  • Junk removal from anywhere—no need to move items out
  • Our friendly teams, who are fully licensed and insured
  • All lifting, loading, and cleanup
  • Disposal and environmental fees

Frequently asked questions

How can I remove my computer’s data before disposal?

Before you get rid of any electronic device, it’s important to sanitize the data–even if you plan to use 1-800-GOT-JUNK?. Remember to back up your files, then perform a factory reset on your device to wipe its memory.

For more detailed information on sanitizing your data, visit the Federal Student Aid guide to media sanitization.

What happens to my computer after you pick it up?

Recycling old computers, laptops, and other personal electronic devices involves breaking the items down and reusing their recyclable materials, such as metals, plastics, and electrical components, to create new, valuable products.

Computers are made from a variety of valuable resources, such as:

  • Copper
  • Aluminum
  • Lead
  • Gold
  • Silicon
  • Tin
  • Iron
  • Cadmium
  • Plastic
  • Palladium

Many of these materials can be melted down and reused over and over again without altering their properties. To ensure these items get properly recycled and don’t end up in the landfill, you’ll need to take these items directly to the recycling facility.

Can I throw my computer or laptop in the trash?

Throwing personal electronic devices such as computers, laptops, and tablets into landfills can cause irreparable harm to the environment, such as:

  • Toxic chemicals leaking from your device, damaging soil and local water supplies.
  • Metals and plastics that don’t break down continuing to burden the surrounding area.
  • Devices sitting in landfills for years and causing long-term damage.

To ensure your device is recycled correctly, send it directly to a facility where metals, plastics, and other materials can be separated and reused. Check out our blog to find out how and where to dispose of your old computers and laptops.

Real customer reviews, typos and all ;)

Markel and Will came out and were amazing! They helped get rid of some hard stuff that we had trouble moving. They were super friendly and very professional and we would love for them to come back and help again when we need to get rid of some more junk in the future.

Antonio and Kevin were great to work with! They came out on a cold snowy evening and were so professional and kind! They were quick and hauled away items from our basement and other yard items. We were calling places to compare prices and they were the most responsive and fair company!
