Electronics Disposal in Garner, NC Serving Wake & Johnston County

TVs and computer equipment such as desktops, laptops and monitors should never go in the trash, and North Carolina bans them from landfills. Printers, phones, tablets and anything with a rechargeable lithium battery should be recycled too, since crushed batteries can start fires in garbage trucks. We collect these items from homes and businesses across Wake & Johnston County and route them to certified electronics recyclers.

Ordinary household alkaline batteries can generally go in the trash in North Carolina, but car and other lead-acid batteries are banned from landfills, and rechargeable lithium-ion batteries should be recycled because they can spark fires. County drop-off centers in Wake and Johnston County and many retailers accept them. When we pick up electronics, tell us about any loose batteries or devices with built-in batteries so we can plan how they're handled.

The best way is to reuse first and recycle the rest: donate or sell devices that still work, wipe or remove hard drives, then take the remainder to a certified electronics recycler. For a single laptop, a county drop-off is easy. For a garage full of old TVs or an office of computers in Wake & Johnston County, a pickup saves the trips; we load from anywhere on the property and route everything to certified recyclers.

Check your county's website for accepted items and hours first.
