Can Junk Removal Take Old TVs, Computers, and Printers?
Can Junk Removal Take Old TVs, Computers, and Printers?
Last updated: October 2026
Yes. Electronics are part of junk removal, priced per item. What we don't take is hazardous materials and construction or demolition debris.
Old electronics have a way of piling up. Quietly. The TV that got replaced three years ago is still in the basement. There's a desktop computer in the closet from the days before laptops. A printer that jammed one too many times is sitting in the corner of the home office. None of it is easy to throw away with the regular trash, and none of it is fun to carry out yourself, especially the old tube TV that weighs more than it has any right to and has been sitting at the bottom of the basement stairs since the year everyone switched to flat screens.
What we take
TVs. Flat screens, older tube TVs, and projection TVs. Big old TVs are heavy and awkward, which is exactly why people call us.
Computers. Desktops, towers, monitors, and laptops.
Printers and office equipment. Printers, scanners, and fax machines.
Audio and video gear. Stereos, speakers, and old media players.
Small electronics. The tangle of cables, keyboards, and gadgets in the junk drawer.
If you're not sure whether something counts, ask us when you call.
Before we arrive
Wipe your data. This one matters. Before you hand over a computer, laptop, or anything else that stores personal information, back up what you want to keep and erase the rest. That part is up to you.
Unplug everything. And gather the cables and remotes with the device.
Point out what's going. So the crew knows exactly which pieces to take.
From inside your home
We remove it from inside your home, so you don't need to carry anything outside yourself. That matters a lot with an old tube TV in a basement. Read do I need to move the furniture outside.
What we don't take
Hazardous materials, and construction or demolition debris. Read what won't junk removal take.
How it's priced
Junk removal is priced per item, quoted up front so there are no surprises once the truck is loaded. A TV is one item. A printer is one item. Read how is junk removal priced.
Clearing out an office?
Offices tend to collect a lot of old electronics. Monitors, printers, and computers that nobody uses anymore. If you're clearing out an office, we can take the furniture too. Read will you remove office furniture, cubicles, or desks.
If the office is moving rather than closing, read how to move office IT equipment and servers safely.
Moving at the same time?
If the old TV isn't coming to the new place, don't pack it. We can haul it away on the same day as your move. Read our post on moving debris and junk removal.
How fast we can come
Two weeks' notice is ideal, but we also do same-day junk removal.
Electronics removal is part of our junk removal service, under our junk removal services alongside moving.
