Recycle or dispose of any flat-screen TV at our Sugar Land drop-off, including modern flat-panel and plasma sets. $20 per flat-screen TV (any size). CRT (tube-style) and rear-projection TVs are no longer accepted. Office and bulk pickup available.
See pricingEverTrade Electronics recycles flat-panel TVs, modern LCD, LED, OLED, and QLED sets, plus older plasma sets. Unlike most electronics (which we recycle for free), every TV carries a processing fee because the mercury backlights and bonded panels require specialized handling and downstream recyclers. Flat-screen TVs are a flat $20 per unit, any size. CRT (tube-style) and rear-projection TVs are no longer accepted, because both contain leaded glass; for those, refer to the Texas Recycles TVs manufacturer program or your city or county household hazardous waste (HHW) program. Whether it is one set from your living room or fifty conference-room displays from an office refresh, we handle the whole process, pickup, secure handling, and proper end-of-life recycling.
One flat rate: $20 per flat-screen TV (any size). No surprise charges, no hidden environmental fees. CRT (tube-style) TVs are no longer accepted. Pricing is also listed on our Accepted Items page so customers always know what to expect before they arrive.
LCD, LED, OLED, QLED, plasma; every brand, working or broken
$20TVs cannot go through the same shredder we use for laptops and servers. A technician has to separate the panel, isolate the backlight, and sort components by material before any of it can move downstream. Bonded LCD and OLED panels (where the glass is glued to the backlight film) take extra time to break apart cleanly.
Older LCDs use mercury vapor backlights that fall under EPA universal waste rules. They go to specialty downstream recyclers that charge us per pound to take the material, and we pass those costs through at cost. (We no longer accept CRT or rear-projection sets, which carry leaded glass.)
Texas TCEQ rules require segregated storage, transport manifests, and certified downstream documentation for hazardous TV components. Our R2-aligned downstream partners track every set from drop-off through final material recovery, so the paperwork holds up under audit.

Data destruction, recycling, and certificates, we take care of everything.
No. TVs are one of the few items we charge for. Almost everything else at EverTrade recycles for free, but every flat-screen TV carries a flat $20 processing fee (LED, OLED, QLED, or plasma), any size. The mercury backlights and bonded panels have to be taken apart by hand and sent to specialty downstream processors that charge us per pound, so a small flat fee covers that handling. CRT (tube-style) TVs, CRT monitors, and rear-projection TVs are no longer accepted (all contain leaded glass); for those, refer to the Texas Recycles TVs program (for TVs) or Texas Recycles Computers program (for monitors), or your city or county household hazardous waste (HHW) program.
Drop a flat-screen TV off at our Sugar Land facility, 10100 Belknap Rd, Suite B5, Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 4 PM, no appointment needed. We serve the Greater Houston area within about 50 miles, including Houston, Sugar Land, Katy, Missouri City, and Pearland. For offices or bulk loads we can schedule a pickup. CRT (tube-style) and rear-projection TVs are no longer accepted; recycle those through the Texas Recycles TVs program or your city or county household hazardous waste (HHW) program.
Bring your flat-screen TV to our Sugar Land drop-off, or call to schedule a pickup for larger volumes. You do not need to remove the stand or do anything special, just bring the set. We accept flat-screen TVs of every brand and any condition ($20 each), then disassemble each by hand and route the metals, plastics, and circuit boards to the right recyclers. We no longer accept CRT (tube-style) or rear-projection TVs, which contain leaded glass; for those, use the Texas Recycles TVs program or your city or county household hazardous waste (HHW) program.
No. Texas TCEQ rules and most Houston-area trash haulers prohibit putting TVs in household garbage because of the leaded glass and mercury inside. Recycling them through a facility like ours keeps those materials out of the landfill and handled the right way.
Yes. The $20 flat-screen rate is per unit no matter the size, so a 65-inch set costs the same as a 32-inch one. For very large or wall-mounted displays, or several sets at once, give us a call and we can arrange a pickup.
We do not buy TVs or any other electronics. Because TVs cost money to recycle, they carry a processing fee rather than a payout. Most other items, such as laptops, phones, and servers, are free to drop off.
Yes, condition does not matter. Cracked screens, dead sets, water damage, or missing parts are all fine. Flat-screens are the same flat $20 (CRT/tube sets are no longer accepted).
Electronic waste (e-waste) refers to discarded electronic devices and equipment, including computers, monitors, phones, and peripherals that have reached end-of-life.
ProcessesMaterial recovery is the process of extracting valuable raw materials from recycled electronics, including precious metals (gold, silver, palladium), copper, aluminum, and plastics.
ComplianceTCEQ (Texas Commission on Environmental Quality) oversees electronic waste management in Texas and requires registered recyclers to report recycling volumes and downstream disposition.
Transparent flat-rate pricing. On-site business pickup for bulk loads. No surprises.
