estate-cleanout-loaded in Darien, CT by Grizzly Junk Pros

Connecticut decided years ago that electronics don't belong in the trash — TVs, monitors, computers, and printers have been banned from CT garbage since 2011, and every town is required to give residents a free way to recycle them instead. It's a good law with one gap: it assumes you can get the electronics there.

That gap is this service. We collect TVs off wall mounts and out of basements, computers by the carload, and the geological strata of dead tech that accumulates in any house over a decade — across Fairfield, New Haven, Hartford, Litchfield, and Middlesex counties plus lower New London — and route all of it through licensed e-waste channels, never the tipping floor. Pickups price on the standard truck-space ladder from $179, confirmed before anything is unplugged.

What Connecticut keeps out of the trash, and why it works

CT's e-waste law does two things at once: it bans covered electronic devices — TVs, computers, monitors, printers — from the trash, and it makes the manufacturers of those devices fund their recycling, which is why your town's drop-off is free instead of fee-per-item. The CT DEEP e-waste program page has the full official picture, including the per-visit device limits at municipal collection points.

What that means practically: the curb is not an option (the hauler will orphan your TV on the lawn), the dumpster is not an option (transfer stations catch it and bill the contamination back), and the two real channels are your town's free drop-off or a hauler who routes e-waste properly. We're the second one — on every junk-removal job, electronics get sorted out of the load and sent through licensed e-waste channels as their own stream. That's not an upsell; it's just what the law and our transfer stations require, built into how we load the truck.

TVs and monitors: two eras, two problems

Flat panels are light and fragile in equal measure. The failure mode isn't dropping them — it's torquing them, which is how a screen cracks in a stairwell between two well-meaning people. The crew carries panels on edge, screen protected, and off wall mounts if the TV is still up there (mount removal is part of the job; patching the lag-bolt holes is a spackle afternoon we'll leave you to).

CRTs — the deep tube TVs and monitors that ruled every den before 2005 — are the opposite animal: a 27-inch tube TV can outweigh a modern 75-inch panel three to one, the weight sits in leaded glass, and they are the single most common cause of the thrown-out back in DIY electronics disposal. They're also exactly why e-waste routing exists; that leaded glass has a dedicated processing stream. If your basement still hosts one, congratulations on the museum piece — and genuinely, let the crew take the stairs.

The data question, answered without hand-waving

Somewhere in the pile of old computers is a decade of tax returns, and you should assume every hauler in the state — us included — hauls, and does not wipe. Nothing in our process touches your data, which is precisely why the data is your job before pickup:

  • Pull the hard drive. A few screws on most towers and old laptops. Keep the drive forever or destroy it at your leisure; the computer recycles fine without it.
  • Factory-reset phones and tablets, and sign out of accounts first.
  • When it genuinely matters — business machines, client records — use a dedicated data-destruction service before we come. Certificates of destruction are their product, not ours, and pretending otherwise would be the kind of promise this site doesn't make.

Do that, and the rest of the pile is just metal, glass, and plastic headed to the right facility.

Truck-space pricing — electronics ride the ladder

When loading the dumpster yourself isn’t the right call — small volume, awkward access, or you just want it gone today — we send a crew. Pricing runs by truck space used, not by item. Final pricing confirmed before removal begins.

  • Minimum Load$179
  • 1/8 Truckload$239
  • 1/6 Truckload$309
  • 1/4 Truckload (~5 yd³)$359
  • 1/3 Truckload$419
  • 3/8 Truckload$489
  • 1/2 Truckload (~10 yd³)$559

What we charge: the ladder, nothing exotic

Electronics price like everything else we haul — the canonical 13-tier truck-space ladder above, from the $179 minimum load up. No per-TV fee, no per-device menu; a load of electronics is a volume like any other. The honest guidance embedded in that: a single small device is a free town drop-off, not a truck dispatch, and we'll say so on the phone. Where the truck earns its tier is bulk (the whole-house tech purge), size (TVs that don't fit in what you drive), and bundling — electronics as one stream inside a move-out, estate, or office cleanout, sorted and routed correctly while the furniture rides the same truck.

Tech graveyard in the basement?

Pull the drives, text a photo, and the whole era leaves in one trip.

Five steps, den to licensed stream

  1. Call (203) 219-8855 or send the junk removal quote form. TV sizes and a rough device count set the tier; photos of the pile work even better.
  2. Your prep: the data step. Drives pulled, resets done — the one part of this job that's genuinely yours.
  3. Tier confirmed on arrival. Before anything leaves a shelf.
  4. Careful carry-out. Panels on edge, CRTs on the dolly, mounts unbolted, cables bagged.
  5. Routing. Covered devices and circuit-board anything to licensed e-waste channels — never the trash stream, which in Connecticut isn't even legal.

Electronics hauls — customer review

From our review corpus — a sofa and a "Sony two-ton TV," which is the most accurate description of a CRT we have ever published.

  • Y
    “Mike and Tim did a professional job of "junk removing" an old three seat sofa and a Sony two-ton TV from our house, then put on their "small home removal" hats and carefully moved a three seat sofa, heavy gateleg table and other items from a third-story apartment to our home. This was all accomplished within the time frame Justin originally estimated. Prices are reasonable, service is exceptional; highest kudos. Thanks, guys!”

Electronics disposal FAQs

Can I put a TV in the trash in Connecticut?
No — and your hauler will leave it at the curb to prove it. Connecticut's e-waste law bans covered electronic devices (TVs, monitors, computers, printers) from the trash, a ban in force since 2011. The same law requires every CT municipality to provide residents a free drop-off channel for those devices, so the legal route costs nothing but the trip.
Which electronics does CT's law actually cover?
The covered-device list is televisions, computers (desktops and laptops), monitors, and printers — the categories manufacturers are required to fund recycling for. Most town collection points accept a wider range of e-waste alongside them in practice. Whatever the category, nothing with a circuit board belongs in a Grizzly roll-off or a trash bag; it routes through e-waste channels, and we handle that routing on junk-removal pickups.
If town drop-off is free, what do you charge for?
The trip, the carrying, and the volume — same as everything we do. Electronics ride the standard truck-space ladder from the $179 minimum load. A single laptop is a silly thing to hire a truck for (drop it off free); a 65-inch TV with no vehicle that fits it, a basement's worth of dead tech accumulated since Windows XP, or electronics as one stream inside a bigger cleanout — that's the actual job, and the tier covers the lot.
How do you handle big or old TVs?
Flat panels up to home-theater size are two-person carries with screen-side protection — modern panels crack from torque, not weight. Old CRT tube TVs and monitors are the opposite problem: absurdly heavy for their size (the glass tube is most of it), leaded glass inside, and the single best argument for not hauling e-waste yourself. Both route to licensed e-waste channels, never the tipping floor.
What happens to my data on old computers and drives?
Here's the honest version: we haul, we don't wipe. Nothing in our process reads, copies, or destroys data — but the responsible move is treating every data-bearing device as your job before pickup. Pull the drive (it's usually a few screws, and a drive makes a satisfying paperweight), sign out of accounts, factory-reset phones and tablets. If a drive holds anything sensitive and you can't pull it, dedicated data-destruction services exist and we'd genuinely rather you use one than assume hauling equals erasure.
Do you take batteries with electronics?
No — batteries are the hard no of the whole operation, lithium above all. A device with its battery built in (laptops, phones) rides fine as a unit; loose batteries, battery packs, and power-tool packs cannot go on the truck at all. They've caused too many transfer-station fires. Town hazmat-day collections and retail take-back bins are the channels; our junk-removal overview covers the full prohibited list.
What about cables, keyboards, and the drawer of dead chargers?
Bag it all and it rides with the load — accessory-tier tech is the easiest part of an electronics pickup and disappears into whatever tier the day's volume set. It's rarely worth a dedicated trip on its own, which is exactly why the drawer stayed full for nine years. Add it to any pickup and empty the drawer for good.
