Scalvage Bros properly recycles all electronics recovered during estate cleanouts and property cleanouts across San Diego County, at no extra charge.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is e-waste recycling?
E-waste recycling is the responsible disposal of electronic devices — TVs, computers, phones, printers, monitors — that cannot go in standard trash or recycling bins. Electronics contain hazardous materials like lead and mercury that must be processed by certified facilities to protect the environment.
What electronics does Scalvage Bros accept for recycling in San Diego?
We recover TVs, monitors, computers, laptops, printers, phones, tablets, networking equipment, small appliances, and stereos during estate and property cleanouts. All electronics are separated for proper e-waste recycling — no extra charge within a cleanout service.
Can I put electronics in the trash or dumpster in San Diego?
No. It is illegal in California to dispose of electronics in the trash. TVs, computers, and most screens are subject to the California Electronic Waste Recycling Act and must be recycled through a certified facility. Scalvage Bros handles e-waste properly during every cleanout.
