How much does e-waste disposal cost in Buffalo?

E-waste pickup starts at $99 ($79 pickup fee + $20 e-waste recycling fee). Additional electronics are +$39 each ($19 add-on + $20 recycling fee).

What electronics do you pick up?

TVs, monitors, computers, printers, game consoles, stereos, and other consumer electronics. We do not pick up loose batteries or industrial equipment.

Our recycling partners follow certified data destruction protocols. Hard drives and storage media are physically destroyed during the recycling process.

Can I put electronics in regular trash?

In most cities, no. Electronics contain hazardous materials that require proper recycling. Dropcurb ensures your e-waste is handled at certified facilities.

Do you pick up old CRT TVs?

Yes. CRT TVs contain lead and must be recycled properly — they can't go in regular trash in most cities. CRT TVs of any size are $99. Place at the curb and our hauler handles the rest.

Can I drop off just one old laptop or small item?

Yes, but the $79 pickup fee applies regardless of item size. For a single small item like a laptop, you may save money at a Best Buy or Staples drop-off (free for small electronics). Dropcurb makes more sense when you have multiple items or larger electronics like TVs and monitors.

What happens to your electronics after pickup

Electronics are recycled at R2- or e-Stewards-certified e-waste facilities. Devices are disassembled and sorted: circuit boards are processed for gold, silver, copper, and palladium recovery. Screens are separated for glass and lead processing. Plastics are shredded and recycled. Hard drives, SSDs, and other storage media are physically destroyed (shredded or degaussed) to ensure complete data destruction — no data leaves the facility intact. The $20 e-waste recycling fee covers the cost of certified handling and hazardous material processing.
