Does anybody know a company that will pick up e-waste from somebody's house for recycling? We live in Travis County, in the Manchaca area. A quick google search only uncovered companies that pick up from businesses.

Thanks!

The Arc of Texas: will pick up furniture and items that are gently used and still usable.

As will Salvation Army, but again it has to be usable. The Salvation Army Family Stores: Donate Goods

Dell Reconnect will accept any brand of computer equipment in any condition if you drop it off.

Correct on all front and, unfortunately, already researched. What I have is not working and I can not drop it off. Must be picked up.

You're probably going to be stuck with 800-Got-Junk or similar, unfortunately.

I hadn't thought of the junk pickup guys, but thanks for the tips. I just hope that they can recycle things properly, but I can certainly ask them.
