What Is E-Waste Disposal?
E-waste disposal in Toronto covers computers, monitors, printers, televisions, and small electronics under Ontario Regulation 393/04, which classifies these as designated waste requiring certified processing. Every load is transported to Ontario Electronic Stewardship (OES) registered collectors - not general landfill. Hard drives are physically sheared before transport on request; a WSIB-compliant two-person crew handles all loading and e-waste segregation.
Electronics are treated as a separate waste stream because of what is inside them. Older televisions and monitors contain leaded glass, circuit boards carry small quantities of mercury and cadmium, and casings are treated with flame retardants. At the same time they hold genuinely valuable recoverable material: copper, aluminium, and trace gold. Electronics are routed separately from the rest of a load, though they can still be collected on the same visit as our general junk removal across Toronto and the GTA.
We collect from the room the equipment sits in and deliver it to certified recyclers.

Common Problems We Solve
Nobody Will Take The Old Tube TV
A 32-inch CRT weighs 40 to 60 kilograms and is the single most refused item at drop-off points. It has usually been sitting in a basement since the flat screen arrived. We take it, including up a flight of stairs.
The Office Refit
A floor of monitors, towers, printers, and phones has to disappear before the new fit-out starts, often over a weekend. We schedule after hours and clear it in one visit with a Certificate of Insurance filed in advance.
Data On The Drives
Old computers hold years of files, and people are rightly cautious about kerbside disposal. Our recycling partners destroy media as part of their processing. Wiping or removing drives yourself first is still the belt-and-braces approach and we recommend it.
The Cable Box
Every household has one: a container of chargers, HDMI leads, and adapters for devices that no longer exist. Copper-bearing cable is recyclable and goes in the same load.
What It Costs
- Small load, a TV and a few devices: $49 to $89
- Household clear-out: $89 to $149
- Office or large volume: $149 to $199, or quoted per truck
If appliances are going at the same time, note that fridges and air conditioners follow the refrigerant recovery route: see appliance removal. For a full workplace clear-out including desks and cabinets, see office junk removal in Toronto.
