TV and electronics removal in Colorado Springs

Justin handles TV and electronics removal in Colorado Springs and the Pikes Peak region, and he does the lifting himself. Call or text (719) 246-8422 to book it. The job covers the dead flat screen in the spare room, the tower computer under the desk, the old monitors stacked in the closet and the box of cords and chargers nobody has touched in years. What sets it apart from a regular junk run is the sorting. Justin pulls the TVs and electronics out of the load and splits them out as e-waste.

Two kinds of people call for this. One is a homeowner who upgraded the living room TV and now has the old one leaning against the garage wall, plus a printer that quit last spring. The other is a manager with a back room full of old desktops and monitors after an office upgrade, or a property manager facing the electronics a tenant left behind. Both want the stuff gone from where it sits, and Justin is the one who prices it, answers the phone and carries it out.

A TV rarely rides alone. It usually comes with the stand it sat on, a cracked entertainment center or a few boxes of other junk, and all of it goes in one load at one price. If the whole floor is being emptied, the office clean out page covers the desks and file cabinets along with the computers. If a dead mini fridge or washer is part of the pile, appliance removal is the page for that.

The full list of what goes on the truck, and what doesn't.

What ends up in a TV and electronics pile

The pile is usually bigger than people expect once they start pulling things out of closets. Flat screen TVs of every size, an old tube TV from the basement, computer monitors that got replaced years back, desktop towers, printers, scanners, speakers, game consoles, DVD players and a plastic tub of cords that fit nothing in the house anymore.

Homeowners tend to call after an upgrade, a move or a weekend spent sorting the basement. Office managers call when a room of old equipment has to clear out before new desks arrive. Landlords call when a tenant moved and left the TV in the living room. Justin handles all of it the same way. He carries the electronics out, keeps track of them in the load and makes sure they get split out as e-waste.

What stays behind on an electronics pickup

Electronics are welcome. A few things that tend to sit right next to them are not. Justin won't haul propane tanks, so the grill cylinder on the garage shelf beside the old TV has to stay. He won't haul fuel either, which means the gas can for the mower comes off the pile before loading.

Asbestos and medical or biohazard waste are refused on every job, this one included. Hazardous waste in general stays behind. If a room of electronics is also holding something on that list, mention it on the call. Justin will price the load without it and leave it where it sits, and the TVs, towers and cords still go. Old remotes and a tangle of power strips are fine to load.

How Justin gets the TVs and computers out

Nothing needs to be dragged to the curb. Justin carries each piece out from where it sits, whether that's the bedroom upstairs or the far corner of the basement. Big flat screens are more awkward than heavy, and a stack of monitors on a narrow staircase takes a few trips. He makes those trips himself. A tube TV from the basement is the heavy one, and Justin carries it up the stairs himself too.

Offices take a little more planning. Justin sorts out the details with the manager ahead of time, like which door to use and whether there's an elevator or only stairs. He's open 24/7 and arrives inside a two-hour window, so a pickup after the staff has gone home can work. If the office wants someone there to unlock a door, Justin plans the arrival window around that person. Pickups happen same day, most days.

Where old TVs and computers end up

TVs and electronics get split out as e-waste. Justin does that sorting on his end, so nobody has to pick the cords out of the junk drawer ahead of time. A cracked screen goes the same route as a dead tower. An old game console or DVD player that still powers on gets split out as e-waste too, the same as one that died years ago.

Everything else in the load goes where it fits best. A TV stand or office chair in good shape goes to donation first, at the Arc, Goodwill or Habitat for Humanity. A steel shelf or file cabinet goes to a Colorado Springs metal recycler. What's left that is plain trash heads to East Landfill or Midway Landfill, or through the El Paso County transfer station.

What it costs to haul off old electronics

The minimum is $225. Above that, Justin quotes one number for the whole job, set by how much room the load takes on the truck. One TV and a box of cords is a small load. A conference room of monitors, towers and printers takes more space and costs more. Once it's loaded, the number stays put.

TVs go to a recycling center, which charges for them by the inch. Loading and disposal are part of the one number, and dump fees never show up as a separate charge. The only add-ons Justin lists are +$10 each for a tire, +$40 each for anything with freon and +$40 each for a mattress or box spring, which only matter here if one of those is riding along with the electronics. He takes cash, credit or debit card, Venmo, Zelle, Cash App, Apple Pay, Google Pay or a check. The pricing guide shows how load size sets the price.
