Oregon has some of the strictest electronics disposal laws in the country. Under the Oregon E-Cycles program (administered by DEQ), it's illegal to put covered electronic devices — TVs, computer monitors, desktops, laptops, printers — into household garbage or drop them in standard transfer stations. Most people don't know this until they try to throw a TV away. Astyle handles every part of legal e-waste disposal in Salem, and we route everything through certified E-Cycles partners.
We pick up the full range: CRT TVs (the old big-tube ones — heavy and full of lead, hated by everyone who tries to throw them away), LCD/LED TVs, plasma TVs, projector TVs, desktop computers, laptops, tablets, computer monitors (CRT and LCD), printers (inkjet and laser), all-in-one printers, scanners, fax machines, copiers (small office to mid-size), networking equipment, servers, UPS battery backups, audio equipment, gaming consoles, VCRs and DVD players, stereo components, and the random box of cables and chargers everyone has in a closet.
We also handle commercial and office e-waste — when a Salem business upgrades workstations, decommissions a server, or clears out a retired conference room of A/V equipment, we can pull it as a single project. Data security is a real concern; we work with certified electronics recyclers who provide chain-of-custody documentation if you need it for compliance reporting. For sensitive jobs, we can arrange on-site hard drive shredding through partner services.
Cost-wise, e-waste in Salem is reasonably priced for residential pickups. CRTs are the most expensive per item because they contain leaded glass and have to be processed at specialized facilities — but it's still cheaper than driving to a transfer station and being turned away.
