$50 FLAT FEE FOR HOME E-WASTE PICKUP IN JOHNSON COUNTY, KS
We’ll go to your home in Johnson County to pick up and remove all your electronic waste for a $50 flat fee. This includes all the e-waste from your household regardless of the number of items you have. We ensure the safety of your private data by having computer hard drives, phones, and tablets shredded and melted down for metal recovery at a commercial recycling center, completely and irreversibly destroying all data they may contain. We donate or resell working electronics to extend their lifecycles through reuse, and we recycle anything that can’t be reused.
Free up your space, save your time and energy, and protect the environment all at once – you’ve got a guy for that.

What Happens Next?
After we pick up your e-waste, we remove all computer hard drives and have them shredded and melted down by a commercial recycling center, destroying all the data they contain. We also have all phones and tablets shredded and melted down by the recycling center. We test TVs and appliances for functionality and then donate or resell working items to extend their lifecycles. Finally, we break down nonfunctioning items and take all reclaimable materials to the recycling center to deflect them from the landfill.
