E-Waste Removal In NYC

Outdated TVs, broken laptops, old cell phones, remote controls, tangled power cords and adapters, and retired telecom equipment don’t belong in regular trash. These items often contain toxic materials and valuable resources that should be recovered through responsible e-waste recycling.

Lightning Junk Removal provides convenient, careful e-waste removal with a focus on data security, safe handling of Electronic waste, and routing to a Sustainable recycling facility whenever feasible to reduce environmental impact.

What We Remove

We handle most non-hazardous e-waste from homes, apartments, offices, schools, retail, and property management portfolios:

Computers and peripherals: desktops, laptops, monitors, keyboards, mice, docking stations, small UPS units
Mobile and small devices: cell phones, tablets, e-readers, cameras, Remote controls, smart home hubs, routers, modems
Office and Telecom equipment: VoIP phones, conference gear, label and receipt printers, network switches, telecom equipment, and cabling
Home entertainment: flat-screen TVs, speakers, game consoles, media players
Cables and accessories: Power cords and adapters, HDMI, ethernet, chargers, surge protectors

Important note: No hazardous waste or household hazardous waste, such as chemicals, fuels, solvents, automotive fluids, or medical waste. We also do not accept a hot tub as e-waste; book hot tub removal separately under junk removal services. If an electronic item is contaminated with chemical waste, tell us in advance so we can advise safe options.

Responsible Handling and Recycling

Electronics contain toxic substances, but also recoverable raw materials like copper, aluminum, and precious metals. Our process emphasizes:

Sorting and diversion: We separate electronics for electronics recycling and e-waste recycling streams instead of mixing them into solid waste streams
Certified routing: When available, we route acceptable items to certified e‑waste recyclers, recycling centers, or a recycling facility through vetted recycling partners
Manual disassembly support: Facilities may use manual disassembly to harvest recycling materials and recovered materials, supporting a circular economy
Compliance: We align with recycling laws and regional rules, and we can share state-specific recycling information resources upon request

We never engage in open burning or practices that could release toxic materials. Our goal is to reduce environmental impact, recover valuable resources, and keep e-waste out of landfills.

Residential E-Waste Removal

Apartments, condos, brownstones, and single-family homes benefit from:

In-unit or curbside haul-away service for e-waste removal
Careful handling in walk-ups and elevator buildings
Consolidation of small items into boxes for faster loading
Coordination with building staff to keep hallways clear

Tip: Gather cables, Power cords and adapters, and small gadgets together. Clearly label fragile screens.

Office, Retail, and Property Management

We streamline electronics recycling for commercial spaces:

Deskside collections during office refreshes or decommissions
Back-of-house and stockroom pickups for retail and hospitality
Telecom equipment and IT closet cleanouts with staging bins
Coordination for loading docks, elevator windows, and COIs
Multi-site scheduling for property managers

Send an inventory or photos so we can stage the right crew and carts.l.

What We Don’t Take

➣ Hazardous waste and Household Hazardous Waste: chemicals, oils, solvents, Automotive fluids, pesticides, or biohazards
➣ Items illegally restricted from disposal under recycling laws
➣ Hot tub units listed as e-waste
➣ Loose batteries mixed with trash; ask about battery recycling guidance and proper drop-off locations

If you are unsure whether an item contains toxic substances or chemical waste, ask during booking.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you recycle the electronics you pick up?
We prioritize e-waste recycling through certified E‑Waste recyclers, recycling partners, and recycling centers where available. Items suitable for electronics recycling are routed to a recycling facility or program that recovers valuable resources with manual disassembly and compliant processes.

What should I do with batteries?
Do not place batteries in regular trash. Use battery recycling options at approved drop-off locations. Ask for guidance on a nearby recycling location or program that accepts your battery type.

How do you handle data security?
Back up data, sign out, and factory reset devices when possible. Remove SIM and memory cards. We do not provide certified destruction services; for formal data security needs, use a specialized provider and then schedule our haul-away service.

Are there extra charges for TVs or certain items?
Some destinations assess a recycling fee for specific electronics. We will include any applicable fees in your estimate, so costs are clear before pickup.

Where can I find local rules about electronics recycling?
We can point you to state-specific recycling information and city resources for electronics drop-off events, trash & recycling pickup schedules, and drop-off locations. If you prefer, we can handle the removal and routing through our recycling partners for a streamlined experience.

Angel cleaned out an entire 1BR apt for me in an afternoon – 2 truckloads at a very good, transparent flat rate – even did the carpet and nails. Couldnt recommend more – clean, efficient, and honest.

These gentlemen answered my last minute call with friendly, super fast, same day service. They went above and beyond for me and my family when we had a death in the family and needed a last minute cleaning out of a storage unit. I can’t recommend these gentlemen highly enough. NG

We hired them for a tough job in our backyard. Angel was very professional from our very first interaction. He gave us a prompt estimate, was responsive, punctual, fast to schedule, and thorough.rnrnNot only did they haul away a chain link fence, metal, wood, and heavy concrete pavers from our backyard through the basement and up the stairs – they also had to clear and haul construction debris that was blocking the door they needed to go through (picture attached).rnrnNo job seemed too big or too small. We dealt with competitors that wasted our time (no-shows, late, disappeared, or focused on issues instead of partnering with us to find solutions). We both have demanding careers, are new landlords, and have a toddler – so finding a company that respects your time and goes the extra mile is incredibly valuable.

These guys are fantastic and Angel is running a great business. They came to get some junk for me, the price was fair, the communication was good and they even cleaned up after removal! Don’t look anywhere else these are the guys to use for your junk removal. The ratings aren’t wrong!
