Free Electronic Waste Pick-Up
You have that old TV sitting in the garage collecting dust along with that old computer and monitor that now make great doorstops in addition to a number of other electronic equipment that have seen better days. Dumping these items into your trash bin is not a good thing to do as they contain toxic substances. So, what do you do? Call eWaste Services 464-9999.
eWaste Services will pick-up televisions, computers, microwave ovens, telephones, and most electronic devices throughout Santa Clara County free of charge; however, they will charge to collect and recycle oversized TVs (50″ plus).
They do have a drop-off location that is by appointment only located at 292 Brokaw Road, Santa Clara. However, this Saturday (10/13) they will be open 10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. without appointment for those who would like to drop off their e-waste items.
eWaste Services, which collects unwanted electronics from both businesses and individuals, delivers them to state-authorized recyclers that must adhere to stringent rules regarding the processing and recycling of e-waste materials.
