How Our San Diego Ewaste Pickup Service Works
We have refined our pickup process over more than two decades so it takes almost no effort on your side:
- Request your pickup. Fill out our quick online form with your San Diego location and a rough inventory of the equipment you want removed. Photos help us plan the right truck and crew for the job.
- Get a fast quote and a pickup window. Most San Diego pickups are scheduled within a few business days. Business pickup service is available at no charge for qualifying commercial loads.
- We collect from your location. Our uniformed crew arrives on time, carefully removes the equipment from your office, storage room, or loading dock, and loads it for transport. You do not need to palletize or prepare anything unless you prefer to.
- Certified recycling and documentation. Your equipment travels directly to our R2 certified facility in Gardena, California, where it is sorted, tested, and processed. Usable equipment is refurbished for a second life; the rest is broken down into commodity materials. You receive a certificate of recycling for your records.
Why San Diego Businesses Choose EwasteCleanup
Choosing an ewaste recycler is about more than convenience. Electronics contain lead, mercury, cadmium, and other hazardous materials, and California law prohibits dumping them in the trash. Partnering with a certified recycler protects your business from liability and protects the environment at the same time.
Recycling since 1999. We have served Southern California businesses for more than 25 years, and our processes reflect decades of hands-on experience with commercial ewaste of every kind.
R2 certified facility. Our Gardena, California processing facility operates under the R2 (Responsible Recycling) standard, the leading certification for electronics recyclers. Your equipment is handled under audited environmental, health, and safety controls from intake to final disposition.
Data security built in. Retired computers and servers often still contain customer records, financial data, and proprietary files. Every storage device we receive is sanitized following NIST 800-88 guidelines, and physical destruction is available when your policies require it.
Documentation for compliance. We provide certificates of recycling and certificates of data destruction, plus serialized inventory reports on request — exactly the paperwork your auditors and IT security team want to see.
Free business pickup. For qualifying commercial loads anywhere in the San Diego area, our pickup service is free. One call clears your storage room and checks off your compliance obligations at the same time.

The Right Way to Dispose of Ewaste in California
California was the first state in the nation to ban cathode-ray tubes and other electronic waste from landfills, and its Electronic Waste Recycling Act set the standard the rest of the country followed. That means San Diego businesses cannot simply throw old electronics in the dumpster — and should not want to. A single computer monitor can contain several pounds of lead, while batteries and circuit boards leach mercury and cadmium into soil and groundwater when they end up in landfills.
Certified ewaste recycling solves the problem properly. At our R2 certified facility, equipment is dismantled by trained technicians and separated into clean commodity streams: steel, aluminum, copper, glass, and plastics that go back into manufacturing. Hazardous components are isolated and handled through licensed downstream partners. Nothing is landfilled, and nothing is shipped to developing nations for informal, unsafe processing. When you recycle with EwasteCleanup, you get proof that every pound was handled the right way.

Yes — business pickup service is available at no charge for qualifying commercial loads throughout the San Diego area. Tell us what you have and where it is, and we will confirm your free pickup when we schedule.
Do you provide certificates of recycling or data destruction?

How quickly can you schedule a pickup in San Diego?
Most pickups are scheduled within a few business days of your request. Larger projects, such as office closures or data center decommissions, can be planned on a timeline that suits you.
What happens to our equipment after pickup?
Equipment goes to our R2 certified facility, where working items are tested for refurbishment and reuse, and non-working items are dismantled into recyclable commodities like steel, aluminum, copper, glass, and plastic. Nothing goes to a landfill, and nothing is exported to developing nations for informal processing.
Do you wipe hard drives and storage devices?
Yes. Data-bearing devices are sanitized according to NIST 800-88 guidelines, and can be physically crushed or shredded on request for an added layer of assurance.
