Pickup for Damaged Electronics
Damaged electronics — broken screens, water damage, devices that won't turn on — are all collectible. They still have scrap or component value, and responsible handling is even more important when items are damaged.
Quick answer
Yes — cracked screens, water damage, and physically broken devices are all accepted for collection. Value is lower than a working equivalent, but damaged items still have material and component recovery value. Flag swollen batteries and sharp edges before pickup.
- Damaged devices should never go in general waste — they still have recovery value.
- Swollen or leaking batteries need immediate isolation, separate from ordinary damage.
- Photos of the damage help confirm feasibility and avoid pickup-day surprises.
All damaged electronics are accepted
A phone with a cracked screen, a laptop that got water damaged, an old TV with a broken panel — all of these are accepted for collection. The value will be lower than a working equivalent, but damaged items still have material and component recovery value and should not go in general waste.
What to flag before pickup
- Swollen or leaking batteries — keep isolated, flag immediately
- Broken glass or sharp edges — a piece of cardboard over a cracked screen is enough
- Devices with corrosion or chemical leakage
- Items that are only partially intact — describe what remains
Damaged batteries — different rules
A swollen, leaking, or damaged battery is not just a damaged electronic — it's a safety concern that needs immediate attention. Keep it isolated, ventilated, and away from flammable materials. Contact us with a photo before booking pickup. See battery recycling.
Send photos for accurate assessment
Photos of damaged items help us confirm whether they're accepted as-is, whether special handling is needed, and what the preliminary scrap or component value might be. A clear photo of the damage avoids surprises on pickup day.
