- Old Tube/Projection Style TV's & CRT's: Currently we are taking tube and projection style TV and CRT for recycling. The fee is $0.50 per lb. This is our cost passed on to you. Because of the hazardous nature of some of the parts in these items, they are expensive to recycle for everyone. It is the responsible action in return for the entertainment received from the devices. And it is the right thing to do for the future of our planet and for the future generations of our families.
- Flat Screen TVs always welcome for drop off near our drop off box
- Recycle Drives for Organization/Business/Community: Available Free of Charge; time and weather permitting

Please have all equipment needing recycled brought to a location before hand near a loading dock or loading location where our trucks and trailers have easy access.

Please help us to help you by having your surplus electronics ready for us to pick up at an easily accessible location.

(Keeping our services free of charge or minimal of cost dictates we not hold the very expensive R2 or related Certifications at this location or perform any of the actual refining processes but instead require our local Recycling Partners to hold minimally the R2 Certification where all items not re-used, donated are transferred to for refining purposes. We can, upon request, happily provide proof of this. We do also certify that we follow strictly all NIST, EPA, DOD, HIPAA standards.)
