Electronics and e-waste
Old TVs and computers cannot go in a Texas landfill in many cities, and they are heavy. The crew picks them up with everything else and takes them to an electronics recycler.
What we take
- TVs of every kind, including old tube sets and projection TVs
- Desktop computers, laptops and servers
- Monitors, printers, scanners and copiers
- Stereos, speakers and game consoles
- Cables, routers, phones and small devices
- Office electronics in bulk
What we cannot take
- Devices with leaking or swollen batteries unless bagged and pointed out
- Smoke detectors containing radioactive elements: return to the maker

How electronics and e-waste is priced
A TV is one single-item price. A box of small electronics rides free with any other pickup. Tube and projection TVs are heavy and some recyclers charge for them; where they do, it is inside your price.
| Load | Roughly | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Single item | One sofa, one fridge or one mattress | $99–$149 |
| 1/8 truck | About a pickup-truck bed: a few pieces of furniture | $179–$249 |
| 1/4 truck | A small room, or a spare bedroom's furniture | $299–$379 |
| 1/2 truck | A one-car garage, or a small move-out | $449–$529 |
| 3/4 truck | A full basement or a two-car garage | $549–$649 |
| Full truck | A whole-house cleanout or estate clear-out | $649–$799 |
Prices are set by each local GoneDay location. The crew looks at the load and confirms the price before they start. Read the full pricing guide.
Before we arrive
- Wipe or remove hard drives if the data matters to you. The crew does not wipe devices.
- Unplug everything and bundle the cables.
- Tell us about a tube TV or a projection TV so two people are scheduled to carry it.
Where it goes
Electronics go to an electronics recycler, not the landfill. Under Texas law, computer and TV makers must offer free take-back of their own brands, and your crew uses those programs where they are practical.
Good to know in Texas
Texas requires computer and television manufacturers to run free recycling programs for their own brands, which is why some retailers will take a laptop but not a TV. The crew sorts that out for you and takes both.

Remove or wipe the hard drive first if the data matters. The crew does not wipe or erase devices.
