Two drop-off days every month. Send your list ahead of time, and we'll confirm which items to bring.
Recycled, Not Thrown Away
Accepted electronics go from our shop to a recycling partner instead of the household trash.
What to Send Before You Come
We take most smaller household electronics, but not TVs, appliances, or large printers. List each item and mention any battery that is swollen, leaking, or hot. Businesses and schools need a separate review.
Wipe Your Data First
Back up what you need and sign out of your accounts. Then turn off activation locks, erase the device, and remove SIM and memory cards. Free drop-off doesn't include data wiping.
Swollen or Damaged Batteries
Never puncture, crush, or open a battery, and keep electronics out of household bins. If a battery or device is swollen, leaking, or hot, contact us before you move it so we can tell you the safe option.
