A named destination
The recycling partner is an actual company in Arizona, not a vague promise that things get recycled. If it still works, Deseret Industries gets it instead.
Electronics Recycling in Utah County, UT
TVs, monitors, computers, printers, servers and boxes of cables. Collected from the house or the office and sent to a recycling partner instead of a dumpster.
- Sent to a recycling partner
- Home and office pickups
- Counted with the load
Electronics are the one category people genuinely do not know what to do with.
A dead television is too big for a curbside bin, too awkward for a car, and most people know instinctively that it should not go in a landfill even if they could get it there. So it sits in a spare room. That is the single most common e-waste call Tyler gets.
Electronics are one of his preferred job types, and there is a practical reason. There is a real destination on the other end. Scrap Solutions works with an electronics recycling partner based in Arizona, so what comes out of your house goes into an actual recycling stream. Where a device still works and is worth using, it goes to Deseret Industries instead.
Old CRT televisions and monitors are the ones worth flagging when you call. They are much heavier than a modern flat panel and they contain leaded glass, which is exactly why they should not be tipped. They are taken, they just want to be mentioned so the load is planned properly.
One thing Scrap Solutions does not offer is certified data destruction. If a drive holds anything you would not want read, pull it or wipe it before pickup. That is an honest limit rather than a service gap being papered over.
Electronics taken
- Flat panel televisions and CRT televisions
- Monitors, desktop towers, laptops and all in ones
- Printers, scanners, copiers and fax machines
- Servers, network gear, switches and UPS units
- Boxes of cables, chargers, keyboards and peripherals
- Stereo equipment, speakers, receivers and DVD players
- Game consoles, set top boxes and small electronics
Worth knowing before pickup
- Certified data destruction is not offered. Wipe or remove drives yourself if the data matters
- Loose lithium batteries and battery packs should be separated out and mentioned on the call rather than buried in a box
What it costs
Electronics are priced with the rest of the load rather than by the device. A few items falls under the $125 minimum. An office worth of equipment is usually a half load at $350 and up.
Why this job goes to Scrap Solutions
Get the dead TV out of the spare room.
Old TVs are fine
CRTs are heavy and contain leaded glass, which is the reason they should not be tipped. Mention them when you call so the load is planned around them.
Offices and home offices
A single dead monitor and a fifty desk office refresh are both normal jobs. The second one just needs a walkthrough first.
