The third Saturday of every month Erecycler of Garland, Texas pulls up in an 18 wheeler in the parking lot of the Christ United Methodist Church of Plano. A handful of people set up camp under a tarp with a small weighing machine, a couple of cash registers and a few eager young men with rolling carts stand ready to accept any number of household electronics for safe and complete recycling.
Cars line up in a steady flow of traffic, and just minutes after set-up, carefully balanced stacks of cellophane wrapped televisions and computers are piled 6 feet or so high on rolling carts ready to be loaded up and hauled away. Before the day is over there will be at least one 18 wheeler full of unwanted electronics that will not find their way to the landfill.
Erecycler has partnered with the city of Plano to offer this “Monthly Electronic Collection” service at three church parking lots on scheduled Saturdays, and if Plano is not convenient, then you can also drop off your unwanted items Monday-Friday from 10-4 at their Garland location.

Erecycler offers total disassembly prior to destruction and never ships any waste to China. Because their service is labor intensive and they handle hazardous materials found in many electronics, they charge a small fee of $10 for each television and $5 for each computer monitor plus 15 cents a pound for other accepted items.
You can also be assured that your hard drive will be destroyed and the process is secure and permanent. Erecycler shreds all hard drives and will offer you a certificate with your serial number for assurance before shredding if you would prefer.
