Electronics Disposal – How to Get Rid of Your Used Devices in California

When it comes to electronics disposal, there is plenty of confusion. The average person seems to have no idea as to how he should properly dispose of his old or malfunctioning electronics. This lack of knowledge is causing irreparable harm to our environment. You can do our planet an enormous favor by printing out this article and passing it on to your friends and family.

Electronics Should NOT be Disposed of With the Normal Garbage Your old TV, computer monitor, video game console, printer or other electronic device should never be haphazardly tossed into your regular trash bins. Attempting to dispose of electronics in this manner is actually illegal in the state of California. If someone spots you attempting to trash any type of electronic device in this manner, they might report you to the authorities.

Can someone else obtain utility out of the Electronic Device? Before attempting to figure out how How-to-Dispose-of-Used-Electronics-in-California-Junk-King-Sonoma-CAto legally dispose of an electronic device you should consider whether another person might benefit from using it. If there is any chance that an impoverished person, student or organization can obtain any utility whatsoever out of the electronic device, donate it or sell it. Finding a new owner for the device will improve another person’s life while simultaneously reducing the burden placed on electronic recycling/re-use hubs. Even if the device is malfunctioning, there still might be a way to remedy the problem.

Recycling Centers Will Take Your Electronic Devices Nowadays, Californians do not dump electronic devices in landfills. Rather, we take them to organizations that recycle/recover undesired electronic devices. We at Junk King work with organizations that are actually qualified to recycle electronics. If the organization is not a participant in the Covered Electronic Waste Recovery and Recycling Program that was established by the state’s Electronic Waste Recycling Act of 2003, they might not have the means to properly dispose/recycle the device.

When in doubt, reach out to the junk hauling experts here at Junk King. We take each and every undesired item to our recycling hubs for a thorough utility and recycling assessment. Our junk hauling experts will drive our big red truck on out to your home or office and pick up just about any piece of junk you want to get rid of. Big Box Electronic Stores can Help There are a number of “big box” electronics outlets like Best Buy that will take in old computer accessories such as printers and monitors. These monolithic corporations have ample personnel and technological resources available to recycle aged or broken electronic devices in the proper manner. Even public libraries have stepped up to the plate by accepting empty ink toner cartridges from printers. When in doubt, refer to your local community services offices for more information regarding where you can drop off undesired electronics.

A caveat about used electronics disposal, be sure to erase all personal information stored on electronic devices before dropping them off at a recycling hub or other destination. Modern day electronics are “smart”, meaning they will store your private data unless you take the initiative to remove such sensitive information from the machine.

Rent a Dumpster for Spring Cleaning

With the spring season just kicking off and Easter now in the rear-view mirror, millions of people are taking to their attics, basements, crawlspaces and garages to do a bit of spring cleaning.

Just the act of cleaning and clearing away can be very liberating, and cutting down on the amount of clutter in your home office has been tied to higher productivity as well.

So, if you’re looking to be a little happier and less stressed this season, organizing your personal space is a great place to start: A clearer environment more often than not means a clear, more productive state of mind.

Dumpster Rentals and Spring Cleaning 

A lot of homeowners are probably reading this and thinking, “that’s all wonderful but what should I do about bulky waste like dressers and mattresses and large appliances like refrigerators, fax machines and huge speakers?”.

Rent-a-Dumpster-for-Spring-Cleaning-Junk-king-sonoma-caSure, you’d like to get rid of some of this stuff and cut down on the amount of clutter in your living room and home office. Certain jobs, though, can feel like they’d take a herculean effort even to start and it tires us out just to think about the arduous work ahead.

  • Rent Out a Dumpster for the Day!

It’s often said that necessity is the mother of invention, and whoever thought up the idea of renting out a dumpster for a one-time use was really onto something.

All you have to do is set up an appointment, wait for the dumpster to arrive and have your yard waste, bulky waste and larger electronics and appliances hauled off you property. It’s really that simple and it can make all the difference in the world to your spring cleaning efforts.

You can even have Junk King’s employees take away things like mattresses and old furniture that you’re dying to get rid of. This can save you the hassle of hiring movers or awkwardly soliciting your friends and neighbors to all band together and help lighten your home of no-longer-used furniture, appliances and electronics.

Especially if your municipal trash pickup won’t come in time or if you’ve already used up your bulky waste pickup date for the year, renting out a dumpster can save you the time, expense and hassle of endlessly searching for ways to deal with your spring cleaning refuse.

Be Environmentally Responsible and Feel Good 

Responsibly disposing all the clutter that goes along with your spring cleaning means that you’re doing good by the environment and making yourself feel good at the same time. How’s that?

Well, there are still people out there who think that their external home environment and their own internal emotional state are unrelated. That’s clearly not the case, though, since when pressure and stress start to build up we often lack the time and resources to look after our environment and, on the flip side, a dirty home office can make clear focus that much more difficult to grasp.

Just the act of spring cleaning and clearing out items that we no longer use can itself be a fulfilling act. We actually feel more energized throwing away dusty, outdated furniture as well as electronics that no longer work and, ahem, underused office supplies and papers. In fact, we might actually breathe easier by getting rid of mold in our homes from things like broken down air conditioners and derelict refrigerators.

This all goes to show that clearing out some of the things that we no longer use can have real benefits to our productivity and make us feel more energized and less stressed throughout the spring season ahead!
