What happens to your electronics after pickup
Electronics are recycled at R2- or e-Stewards-certified e-waste facilities. Devices are disassembled and sorted: circuit boards are processed for gold, silver, copper, and palladium recovery. Screens are separated for glass and lead processing. Plastics are shredded and recycled. Hard drives, SSDs, and other storage media are physically destroyed (shredded or degaussed) to ensure complete data destruction — no data leaves the facility intact. The $20 e-waste recycling fee covers the cost of certified handling and hazardous material processing.
Why Columbus residents choose Dropcurb for electronics removal
Columbus's free landfills (Pine Grove and Granite Bluff) require your own truck and loading — and the 3-5 week delay on yard waste pickup pushed the city to open them. LoadUp and College HUNKS both require scheduling. Dropcurb starts at $79 with same-day curbside pickup — instant online pricing, no driving to Pine Grove.
