TV disposal and e-waste rules in Metro Vancouver
Electronics are on Metro Vancouver’s disposal ban list, so they can’t go in your garbage. They have to go to an approved recycler.
- TVs, monitors, computers and printers all count as electronics under the ban.
- Old tube TVs and large monitors are heavy and awkward to carry, especially on stairs.
- Loose lithium batteries, like e-bike and scooter packs, have their own drop-off program and can’t ride in a junk load.

About surchargesWhat affects the cost of TV and e-waste removal
Every job is quoted free at your door. These are the things that move your estimate, and how to keep it down.
-
Truck space, not the item
There’s no surcharge on TVs or computers. You pay for the truck room they take, like any other item.
To lower it: Box up small electronics and coil the cables so everything packs tight.
-
Heavy and awkward pieces
Tube TVs, big projection sets and copiers take two people and care on stairs, so in-unit labour may apply.
To lower it: Bring what you safely can to the garage or driveway: curbside pickups get 15% off.
-
Office volume
A full office of monitors, towers and printers is quoted as one job after a walk-through.
To lower it: Gather everything in one room or one floor so it all goes in one visit.
How to get ready for e-waste pickup
- Back up, then wipe or remove hard drives, phones and memory cards. We don’t offer data destruction.
- Pull out loose lithium batteries and e-bike packs; they need their own drop-off.
- Sign out of your accounts on smart TVs and game consoles.
- Gather cables, remotes and chargers in one box.
- Flag anything that still works; we try to donate working electronics.
Where your items go
E-waste goes to approved Return-It Electronics recyclers, where metals, glass and plastics are recovered. Working electronics may be donated. We don’t data-wipe drives, so remove or wipe them before pickup.

What to expect on the dayWhat our customers say
5.0from 3 Google reviews
See all reviews on Google (opens in a new tab)I had a tough time, especially moving away and moving out is not fun or easy, and with my full-time job, I can never get things done. Then I was recommended to Spartan junk ,Aydean What’s top notch and got there real quick. Him and his colleagues finished up my whole two bedroom apartment in like an hour after arriving. So now I’m all good, stress-free, and I can get back to just focussing on the new place. Definitely gonna be a happy camper after this, and his wife is a total sweetheart.
