Electronics Removal in Rexburg & Southeastern Idaho

Electronics pile up faster than almost anything else in a modern home. The TV you replaced three years ago is still leaning against the wall in the spare room. That box of old cables, chargers, and devices is taking up closet space. The desktop computer from 2010 sits under a desk, unplugged and gathering dust. And nobody wants to deal with that ancient CRT television in the basement because it weighs 80 pounds and you have no idea where to take it.

ShapeUpIdaho handles electronics removal for homes and businesses across Rexburg and the entire Southeastern Idaho region. We pick up your old electronics, haul them away, and make sure they end up at certified recycling facilities — not in a landfill.

Why Electronics Need Special Handling

You might be tempted to toss an old printer in the dumpster and call it a day, but electronics aren’t like other junk. Here’s why they deserve better than the landfill:

Hazardous materials. CRT televisions and monitors contain lead — sometimes several pounds of it. Circuit boards hold cadmium, mercury, and other toxic metals. Batteries can leak corrosive chemicals. When these materials end up in a landfill, they eventually leach into the soil and groundwater.

Valuable recoverable materials. Electronics also contain copper, gold, silver, platinum, and rare earth metals. Proper recycling recovers these materials and puts them back into manufacturing. It’s good for the environment and good for the economy.

Data security. Old computers, laptops, tablets, and phones may still contain personal information, financial records, passwords, and photos. Proper disposal includes data destruction so your information doesn’t end up in the wrong hands.

Throwing electronics in the trash skips all three of these concerns. That’s why we take e-waste recycling seriously.

Electronics We Remove

If it has a circuit board, a screen, or a plug, we’ll take it. Here’s what we pick up most frequently:

Televisions

CRT, LCD, LED, plasma — all types, all sizes. Old tube TVs are especially problematic because of their weight and lead content. We handle them carefully and send them to facilities equipped to process them safely.

Computers and Accessories

Desktop towers, laptops, tablets, monitors, keyboards, mice, printers, scanners, copiers, and fax machines. Whether it’s one old laptop or a room full of outdated office equipment, we clear it all.

Home Entertainment

Stereo systems, speakers, receivers, VCRs, DVD players, Blu-Ray players, gaming consoles, and all the remotes and cables that come with them. These items accumulate over decades, and at some point the entertainment center just needs a fresh start.

Networking Equipment

Routers, modems, cable boxes, phone systems, and server equipment. Businesses upgrading their IT infrastructure call us for this regularly.

Small Electronics

Alarm clocks, portable radios, calculators, power strips, old chargers, and that drawer full of random cables you’ve been meaning to sort through. Yes, we’ll take that whole drawer.

The E-Waste Problem Is Real

Globally, millions of tons of electronic waste are generated every year, and a shockingly small percentage gets properly recycled. Most of it ends up in landfills or gets shipped overseas to developing countries where it’s processed in unsafe conditions.

Here in Southeastern Idaho, we don’t have that global-scale problem, but we still see plenty of electronics ending up where they shouldn’t. Old TVs dumped on the side of rural roads. Boxes of computer parts left in dumpsters behind apartment complexes. Bags of old phones and cables tossed in the regular garbage.

ShapeUpIdaho exists partly to make the right choice the easy choice. When you call us, your electronics get recycled properly. You don’t have to figure out where to take them, how to transport them, or what the facility accepts. We handle all of that.

Common Situations for Electronics Removal

Here’s when most people in Rexburg and the surrounding area pick up the phone:

• Home upgrade or remodel — You bought a new TV, new computer, or new home theater setup. The old stuff needs to go.
• Moving — Packing up a house reveals all the electronics you forgot you had. Rather than haul them to the new place, let us take them.
• Office cleanout — Businesses upgrading computers, printers, or phone systems accumulate piles of outdated equipment. Our office junk removal service handles this at scale.
• Estate or property cleanout — Inherited properties often have decades of accumulated electronics. We remove it all as part of our estate cleanout work.
• General decluttering — You’ve finally decided to tackle that closet, that basement corner, or that garage shelf full of old tech.

Whatever the reason, we make electronics removal easy.

Data Security Considerations

We take your privacy seriously. Before we pick up any computer, laptop, tablet, or phone, we strongly recommend that you:

1. Back up any data you still need.
2. Perform a factory reset on phones and tablets.
3. Wipe or physically remove hard drives from computers if they contain sensitive information.

If you’re not comfortable doing this yourself, let us know when you schedule your pickup. We can connect you with certified data destruction services through our recycling partners. For businesses handling customer data, employee records, or financial information, this step is especially important.
