What Items Do We Accept? A Guide to Donating and Recycling Your Electronics

One of our most common questions, answered: here's everything we accept for donation and recycling — plus the few items we can't take.

If you’ve got a closet, storeroom, or loading dock full of old electronics, you’ve probably wondered: will they take this? It’s one of the most common questions we hear — from businesses planning a refresh, schools clearing out classrooms, and folks cleaning out the garage alike.

Nobody wants to load up the truck only to be turned away at the dock. So here’s the straight answer: everything we accept, the few things we can’t take, and how to get it all to us.

What we accept

We take a wide range of business and household electronics, whether they’re headed for donation or recycling:

Computers and laptops

  • Desktop PCs and iMacs
  • Laptops and MacBooks
  • Server equipment

Mobile devices

  • iPads, iPhones, and smartphones
  • Tablets

Network and office equipment

  • Network equipment: switches, routers, firewalls, hubs, and modems
  • Telephone systems and telephones
  • Point of sale equipment and credit card machines
  • Projectors
  • Printers (under 50 lbs)
  • LCD monitors

Components and accessories

  • Loose hard drives
  • Printed circuit boards and memory
  • Power supplies, universal power supplies, and power adapters
  • Cables
  • Keyboards, mice, and docking stations
  • Cable and satellite receivers
  • Toner (used and new in box)

What we can’t accept

A shorter list, but an important one:

  • Televisions of any kind
  • CRT (cathode ray tube) monitors
  • Roller copiers and printers
  • Plotters
  • Projector bulbs and light bulbs
  • Lead acid batteries (vehicle batteries)
  • Ballasts
  • Appliances

Not sure whether something qualifies? Just ask us first — we’d rather answer the question than have you haul over something we can’t take.
