Electronics Recycling in Los Angeles, CA

Certified ewaste recycling for Los Angeles homes and businesses — with free business pickup for 10+ items, data destruction to NIST SP 800-88 standards, and a certificate of destruction with every service.

EwasteCleanup Inc. has provided certified ewaste recycling and IT asset disposal in Los Angeles since 1998. From our R2v3-certified facility in Santa Fe Springs, we serve businesses, schools, healthcare providers and households across Los Angeles County — collecting, securely destroying and responsibly recycling electronics under a strict zero-landfill policy.

EwasteCleanup is R2v3 certified for responsible recycling. We destroy data to NIST SP 800-88 standards, support HIPAA compliance, and provide a certificate of destruction with every service. Nothing is landfilled, and nothing is shipped to developing nations for informal, unsafe processing.

It is illegal to dump electronics in the Los Angeles rubbish

It is illegal to throw out or dump electronic items in the trash in Los Angeles. California classifies televisions, monitors, computers, batteries and similar devices as universal waste, which must go to an authorised recycler — never to a landfill or a household bin. The lead, mercury, cadmium and flame retardants inside electronics contaminate soil and groundwater, so hauliers will refuse bins containing ewaste and fines can follow.

We make legal, certified ewaste recycling in Los Angeles simple. One call to (323) 300-8243 and our uniformed crew collects your equipment, documents every item and processes it at our R2v3-certified facility. You receive a signed certificate of destruction and complete peace of mind.

If your electronics still work, consider donating them first — Goodwill and other local charities accept working computers, televisions and small electronics for reuse. For everything broken, obsolete or holding sensitive data, bring it to us, or we will collect it, for certified recycling.

Every service below is available across Los Angeles County with free business pickup for 10+ items. Each service name links to our full services overview.

Electronics Recycling

Our R2v3-certified facility recycles computers, monitors, televisions, servers and more from Los Angeles homes and offices. Every item is weighed, sorted and processed under a strict zero-landfill policy, and reusable equipment is refurbished to extend its working life. Ideal for office clear-outs, moves and ongoing recycling programmes.

We wipe, degauss or physically shred hard drives, SSDs, backup tapes and mobile devices at our secure Santa Fe Springs facility or on site at your Los Angeles premises. Every drive is tracked by serial number and you receive a signed certificate of destruction, supporting HIPAA compliance.

IT Asset Disposition (ITAD)

Our audited ITAD programme manages end-of-life technology for Los Angeles companies from collection to final reporting. We run full inventories with serialised tracking, provide secure pickup and sanitisation, recover residual value through certified remarketing channels, and deliver compliance-ready documentation for auditors and ESG reports.

When products must never reach the market, we destroy them securely and irreversibly. Prototypes, counterfeits, recalled goods and excess stock from Los Angeles brands and retailers are crushed, shredded or dismantled under witnessed conditions, with a certificate of destruction for every load.

Los Angeles ewaste recycling FAQs

Is it really illegal to put electronics in the rubbish in Los Angeles?

Yes. It is illegal to throw out or dump electronic items in the trash in Los Angeles. California classifies televisions, monitors, computers, batteries and similar devices as universal waste, which must go to an authorised recycler such as EwasteCleanup — never to a landfill bin.

Is your Los Angeles pickup service really free?

Business pickup is free when you have 10 or more qualified items. We offer free business pickup across Los Angeles, Orange County and San Diego, and most pickups are completed within 48 hours of your request.

Will I receive proof that my equipment was destroyed?

Yes. Every service includes a signed certificate of destruction at no extra charge, with serialised tracking of data-bearing devices from collection through final processing.

How do you handle data on old computers and drives?

We destroy data to NIST SP 800-88 standards by wiping, degaussing or physically shredding hard drives, SSDs, backup tapes and mobile devices. Our process supports HIPAA compliance, so healthcare providers and other regulated industries can decommission equipment with confidence.

What if my electronics still work?

If your equipment is working, consider donating it first — Goodwill and other charities accept working computers, televisions and small electronics for reuse. Anything broken, obsolete or holding sensitive data should come to us for certified recycling.

Electronics recycling across greater Los Angeles

From our Santa Fe Springs facility, our crews run scheduled collection routes across Los Angeles County every week. That means businesses and households from the San Gabriel Valley to the Westside receive the same certified service — free business pickup for ten or more items, data destruction to NIST SP 800-88 standards, and a signed certificate of destruction with every job.

Electronics recycling in Pasadena

Pasadena pairs historic neighbourhoods with world-class research and creative industries, and both generate a steady stream of e-waste. Around Caltech and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, labs and offices regularly retire workstations, test equipment and servers; along Colorado Boulevard and in Old Pasadena, businesses refresh computers, point-of-sale systems and displays as part of routine fit-outs.

Property managers clearing estates and renovating older homes across the city’s historic districts call on us for the bulky items that kerbside programmes will not take — CRT televisions, vintage stereo equipment and heavy office printers. Whatever the source, every load is weighed, sorted and processed at our certified facility, with data-bearing devices destroyed before anything is recycled. For Pasadena organisations planning an office move or a lab clear-out, a free business pickup for ten or more items keeps the whole project on schedule.

Electronics recycling in Glendale

Glendale’s mix of media, healthcare and corporate offices makes it one of the busiest stops on our LA County routes. Studios and post-production houses retire editing suites, servers and broadcast equipment on tight production schedules, while hospitals and medical centres decommission computers and data-bearing devices that demand certified data destruction with a documented chain of custody.

Corporate offices on Brand Boulevard and in the downtown core generate the classic office-refresh stream — monitors, laptops, phones and printers — and many take advantage of free business pickup to clear entire floors at once. With same-week scheduling across Glendale, equipment never has to sit in a storage room waiting for a quarterly clear-out; our uniformed crew packs, loads and documents every item on site.

Electronics recycling in Santa Monica

Silicon Beach runs on hardware, and Santa Monica’s technology companies, start-ups and creative agencies refresh it constantly. We collect decommissioned laptops, monitors, networking equipment and servers from offices across the city, providing data destruction certificates that satisfy the strictest IT and legal teams.

Production companies and hospitality businesses along the coast add their own steady stream of displays, sound equipment and point-of-sale hardware. For Westside businesses that need e-waste removed without disrupting the working day, our crews offer flexible collection windows — and households from Ocean Park to North of Montana can use the same certified recycling stream for old televisions, computers and small appliances.
