At the very start of the Quarantine and SIP we of course had a bunch of EWaste that we needed to have picked up, I emailed EWaste and they were at our business within a hour even though they were running with very minimal employees working. They were fast efficient and very friendly.

I own an optometry clinic in Walnut Creek. As a healthcare provider, safeguarding patient information and privacy is almost as important as patient care itself.
We had a computer failure. We took out the hard drive and recycled the rest of the electronic components. I ordered a hard drive destruction kit from eWaste Direct. The company sent me a prepaid USPS Priority box for my item.
I sent the hard drive over to eWaste Direct. A few days later I received an email with a certificate of destruction along with a link to a video showing the drive being dismantled/destroyed/being sent to hard drive heaven.
I had an excellent experience, thank you.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jan 15, 2014
I was looking for a good way to recycle our old, HEAVY tube TVs and found E Waste Direct will do free residential pickup if you have 5 or more substantial items (TVs, computers, cable boxes, etc.). If you have less than 5, the pickup fee is $20 - still very reasonable.
I signed up for pickup via their website and got a call within 30 minutes to schedule the pickup date (available the next day). During pickup, both men were friendly, prompt, moved the items easily, and took great care not to ding any walls on the way out. Highly recommend their service.Helpful 4Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Peggy R.Antioch, CA010Mar 19, 2019
hands down, the best I have ever had!
eWaste Direct is simply the best. From Veronica, who I work with to schedule our pick ups and facilitate our battery recycling program, to the drivers who show up on time and as scheduled. Everyone is professional and friendly and helpful.
Oh, and did I mention the ewaste pick ups are FREE? Yep, free!
Like I said - they are simply the best.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - Jan 6, 2016
The owner is a great guy and he will grow this to be a bigger business. They don't like people to drop off junk at their warehouse so you have to make an appointment for them to pick up stuff or for their okay to drop off at a set time once they know what you want to get rid of. Cost me $0 to get rid of old computers and monitors so it was a win for me.

These people are the new "first call" for e-waste in Livermore/Pleasanton. They'll come out and pick up whatever you have for free, just like the good old days!

When we decided to dispose of our old electronics equipment (including a 10 year old television that HAD to weigh about 3 tons), we called EWaste. What a great decision! Carrie, who set up the appointment, was friendly and professional. What a concept - a company that actually acts like they want to do business with you.
Our appointment was for between 10:00 and 12:00 and an EWaste rep knocked on our door at 10:00 on the nose! (HAD to love that!) EWaste charges 20.00 for pickups if you have less than 5 items to donate. If you have 5 or more items though, the pickup is FREE!
It was good to do the out with the old, in with the new thing in an environmentally responsible way, especially knowing that the old stuff will be recycled instead of being dumped in landfill somewhere. And, it didn't cost us a penny.
Great job, EWaste!!! : )Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Nathaniel R.Walnut Creek, CA696Oct 24, 2014
After two weeks of dealing with tons of emails and no-show folks from Craigslist...I had enough. I came across eWaste Direct. Via the user-friendly website, I submitted a "residential service" pick-up for the date that best suited me and hit submit. Within hours, I received a confirmation call. Good bye 70 inch projection TV...and I feel good that I recycled it. No hassle, very professional.
