*CALIFORNIA SOURCED RECYCLABLES

To recycle Computer CRT Monitors, TVs, Laptop Computers, and Flat Screen Monitors for FREE, you must declare that the equipment is California sourced purchased and used in California. To make this declaration, you must provide your name and physical address (P.O. Boxes not acceptable) for a State of California form. Since the recycling of these items is funded by a State tax, the State has to ensure that it is only funding recycling to California residents and businesses. Non-California Sourced CRT Monitors, TVs, Laptop Computers, and Flat Screen Monitors cost 50¢ / lb to recycle.

Cash, VISA, Mastercard, American Express credit/debit cards and business checks are accepted for payment. No personal checks will be accepted.


    Over 110,000 green consumers and 10,000 green organizations served.
