Electronic Waste Removal in Salem & the North Shore

We take old TVs and computers to be recycled

Electronics have things inside them that do not belong in a trash bin. We take old televisions, computers, monitors, printers, and stereo systems off your hands and bring them to recycling facilities set up for the heavy metals and plastics inside, rather than to a landfill here on the North Shore.

How We Handle It

Old electronics hold lead, mercury, and other material you don't want in the ground, and the recycling facilities we take them to are certified to pull that material out safely.

We also do office and commercial space cleanouts and appliance removal.

How Much Will This Cost?

Pricing is based on the space your load takes up in the truck, or on weight for heavy material. We give you a free, firm price in person before any work begins, and once you agree to it, it does not go up.

• $120 minimum pickup
• $70 to $100 per cubic yard
• Closer to $70 when it is light and easy to reach

For a very small job close to our Salem base we can sometimes bring the minimum down to $80 to $100, so it is worth asking. The minimum can also be higher for a job well outside our normal routes. See the full pricing page.

Salem will not take a TV or a computer in the regular trash. They go to one of the four E-Waste days the city runs each year, and a TV or a monitor can also go out as a white good. Here is how Salem handles electronics now, including what the $20 white goods category covers.

Old tube TVs and monitors are on the same Massachusetts disposal ban list as mattresses and appliances holding refrigerant, and screens go to a recycler that charges for them. Here is what junk removal costs in Massachusetts, including the items that get priced separately and the reason why.

We take the old tube TV in the corner of the garage, and it's the classic case on the Massachusetts ban list, because cathode ray tubes have been banned from ordinary trash for years. Here is what a garage cleanout costs in Massachusetts and which items, old electronics included, get their own line.

About Us, Our Story

The Junk Heroes is a brother-owned and operated junk removal company rooted in Salem, MA. We live right on the line between Salem and Swampscott, two minutes from Vinnin Square, and we started this business because we wanted to run a junk removal service that showed up on time, treated customers like neighbors, and charged honest prices.

We give a single couch the same care as a full estate cleanout. Families and businesses around Salem, Swampscott, Beverly, Lynn, and Marblehead have left us 350+ five-star reviews.

The Junk Heroes is an independent company that two brothers built and still run, with a crew of friends who haul alongside them, and we stand behind every job we do.

We do this by the book. We carry $2M in general liability, a $1M umbrella policy and $1M in commercial auto coverage. We are USDOT registered (USDOT 8843043), our drivers hold DOT medical cards, and we hold commercial accounts at the disposal facilities we use, so every load ends up where it is supposed to.
