E-Waste & Electronics Pickup

Choose electronics pickup when you have a defined pile of gear rather than a mixed cleanout. A stack of three monitors, a dead desktop, and a box of cables from a Maryknoll home office is a fast, focused job — we quote it by the item or by the fraction of truck space it fills, which usually beats booking a full cleanout. If your electronics are tangled into a whole-garage or whole-basement purge alongside furniture and boxes, a general junk removal load is the better fit; ask us to bundle the electronics into that volume so you pay once. The trade-off is simple: a small standalone electronics run carries a modest minimum, while folding gear into a larger haul spreads the cost across the load.

Glen Ellyn generates steady electronics turnover, and older TVs are the piece most residents struggle with. Big-box tube TVs and rear-projection sets from Forest Hills and Glenbard Acres split-levels are heavy, awkward on a stairway, and not accepted at ordinary curbside pickup — that is exactly the item we are built to carry. We bring the dolly, protect the wall corners on the way out, and take the whole thing so a 200-pound console does not sit in your Honeysuckle Hill family room for another season. Laptops, tablets, and small gear from College of DuPage students moving out of Briarcliffe rentals are quick add-ons to any run.

DuPage County treats electronics as banned from regular household trash, so these items need a dedicated hauler rather than the curb. We route collected electronics to appropriate recycling and reuse channels instead of the landfill. If you prefer to drop off yourself, the county and the Village of Glen Ellyn periodically publicize electronics recycling options — our pickup exists for the times when a monitor is too heavy, the stack is too tall, or you simply do not want to make the trip. Whether you are near Lake Ellyn Park, Stacy's Corners, or a business off Roosevelt Road, give us the count and location and we will confirm timing.

Before the truck arrives, wipe or remove hard drives from any computer holding personal data — we recommend clearing devices at home for your own security. Leave the items where they are; you do not need to move them to a curb or driveway. On arrival, our crew confirms the load, gives you the on-site price before touching anything, and only carries out what you approve.
