TV Removal & E-Waste Recycling in Sacramento

Old televisions are one of the trickiest things to get rid of in California. They’re classified as e-waste, they can’t go in the trash, and the old glass tube (CRT) sets contain lead. Take Care Junk picks up any TV from anywhere in your home and routes it to a certified e-waste recycler.

Why You Can’t Just Toss an Old TV

Under California’s Electronic Waste Recycling Act, televisions and monitors must be recycled — not landfilled. CRT tubes contain several pounds of lead, and flat-screens contain mercury and other materials that need proper handling. We take that entire problem off your hands and make sure it’s done to code.

Every Type of TV, Plus the Rest of Your E-Waste

• CRT (tube) televisions and monitors
• Plasma, LCD, LED, and OLED flat-screens
• Projection and console TVs
• Computer monitors and desktops
• Stereo equipment and electronics

How It Works — Four Simple Steps

Getting rid of an old TV and other electronics shouldn’t be complicated. Here’s exactly what to expect when you book with Take Care Junk:

• 1. Book online or call. Tell us what you have and where it is. Pick a time window that works — same-day and weekend slots are usually available.
• 2. Get an upfront quote. When our crew arrives, we look at the item, confirm the price on the spot, and only start once you say go. No hourly meter, no surprises.
• 3. We do the lifting. Our insured two-person crew carries everything out — down stairs, through tight doorways, wherever it sits. You never touch it.
• 4. We haul it off responsibly. We donate what’s usable and recycle what we can before anything heads to the landfill, then sweep up and go.

What Actually Happens to Your Old TV

Once we pick it up, your television doesn’t just get dropped at a transfer station — it goes to a California-approved e-waste recycler where it’s dismantled by hand. Leaded CRT glass is separated for specialized processing, circuit boards and metals are reclaimed, and plastics are sorted for recycling. Very little ends up as true waste. That matters in Sacramento, where illegally dumped electronics are a real problem and improperly handled sets can leach lead and mercury into the ground.

Clear Out the Whole Electronics Graveyard

Most homes have more than one dead device hiding in a closet. While we’re there for the TV, we’ll take the tangle of old computer monitors, the printer that never worked right, the box of cables, the retired stereo receiver, and the drawer of chargers. Rolling it all into one e-waste pickup keeps the per-item cost down and gets a whole category of clutter out of your house in a single visit.
