Where does my old TV go?

All electronics go to R2-certified recyclers in California for responsible processing. CRT and LCD/LED TVs are dismantled, leaded glass is contained, and circuit boards are smelted to recover precious metals.

Is it illegal to throw away electronics in California?

Yes. Under California's Electronic Waste Recycling Act and the Universal Waste Rule, it is illegal to dispose of TVs, monitors, batteries, and most electronics in regular trash. JYR handles e-waste in full compliance.

Can you wipe or shred my hard drive?

Yes. We offer NIST 800-88 compliant data wiping and physical hard-drive shredding through R2-certified partners, with a Certificate of Destruction for businesses.

Certified e-waste recycling across San Francisco

Electronics contain heavy metals — lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium — that leach into groundwater when landfilled. JYR partners exclusively with R2 (Responsible Recycling) and e-Stewards certified processors in California so every TV, monitor, and circuit board you hand us is dismantled, sorted, and refined responsibly. No e-waste leaves the country, and nothing goes to landfill.

What electronics we accept

Flat-screen TVs (LCD, LED, OLED, plasma), CRT TVs and monitors, computer monitors, desktops, laptops, tablets, smartphones, servers, network switches, routers, modems, UPS battery backups, printers, copiers, fax machines, scanners, projectors, gaming consoles, stereo equipment, microwaves, small kitchen appliances, power tools, lithium-ion and lead-acid batteries, fluorescent tubes and CFL bulbs, cables and chargers, and circuit boards.
