We recommend E-Waste & Solar Recycling Center without reservation. One reviewer called them after striking out with every waste disposal service in Santa Clara County, and Eddie had a crew at their door the next morning to haul away old solar panels. Another watched their tech Jesse show up early, stay late to help with extras, and power through a roomful of unsorted electronics in 15 minutes. We found zero complaints about the crew's workmanship, and 54 reviews praised their follow-up support with specific stories about quick scheduling, helpful reminders, and courteous drivers who brought their own boxes. Reviewers mention Eddie by name 34 times, always in the context of fast replies and fair pricing. One homeowner dumped two ancient TVs in their after-hours bin for free, thrilled to avoid storing a 40-inch relic in the garage. The one pricing surprise we spotted involved a $20 drop-off fee when the listing said free, but that lone review stands against dozens praising their transparency and lower quotes than competitors.
If you need old solar panels or e-waste hauled away and want it done tomorrow without a runaround, Eddie's team will respond within minutes and show up on time. One reviewer paid $20 when they expected free drop-off, so confirm fees upfront if you're delivering yourself.
Mary hit a dead end calling waste disposal and hazmat services around Santa Clara County — none would accept old solar panels. She found Eddie’s business online yesterday; he answered her web inquiry the same day and arranged a pickup for the very next morning at a fair price. The driver and assistant arrived on time, were courteous, and loaded the panels and supports quickly and carefully into the truck. After a frustrating search, she felt a real sense of relief to have located a local, reliable resource that handled everything promptly.
Linda P. needed to clear a room full of electronics for a small non-profit church and, pressed for time, compared three recycling centers online before choosing E-Waste Recycling Center because of their focus on giving items a second chance. She filled out the website contact form and Eddie called within five minutes, asked her to text a photo so he could size the right truck, and then texted the exact arrival time for a next-day pickup. Eddie followed up with a morning reminder; the truck showed up on time and Jessie greeted her with a smile, loaded the room full of electronics and accessories in about 15 minutes, brought their own boxes, and returned her plastic containers. Two weeks later she drove to their Union City facility with a few more items; staff again greeted her warmly and immediately unloaded her trunk. The standout detail — sizing the truck from a photo and showing up the next day to do all the heavy lifting while returning her containers — made the whole process feel caring, professional, and efficient.
Wayne expected the listing’s free disposal to cover his old electronics but ended up paying $20 to drop off a TV, miscellaneous computer parts and a big tangle of wires. He realized afterward that he could have taken the same items to tri-ced for no charge, so the advertised “free” service didn’t apply in his case — the $20 fee was the memorable detail he walked away with.

Michael E. had a dozen old solar panels that were too heavy to haul in his car, so he turned to a local shop he found on Yelp. He called, received a fair quote, and scheduled a pickup; the crew showed up, loaded the panels and wrapped everything up quickly. The staff came across as friendly and helpful, but the real standout was how effortless and fast the whole process felt. He walked away with the panels gone and no hassle — picked up the same way you’d expect a bulky appliance to be handled, for a reasonable price.
Samvel G. found the crew consistently punctual and helpful. He asked them to haul away unwanted panels, and Eddie moved fast — efficient and quick to get the job done.

The standout detail for him was that combination: lower cost plus Eddie’s no‑fuss speed in clearing the panels.
Mari F. discovered a dependable, easy-to-use option for recycling computers and other electronics. She found communication smooth and appointment scheduling effortless, which made dropping off multiple items straightforward. The standout feature for her was the hard-drive destruction service — offered at a reasonable price and accompanied by a certificate of destruction.

Michael R. turned to Eddie and his team for years to dispose of all kinds of e-waste — TVs, monitors, phones, hard drives and even appliances. He experienced a consistently streamlined drop-off process that kept visits quick and hassle-free. When the center moved to a new location in Union City, he found the site well arranged to get people in and out efficiently. What keeps him coming back is that they accept a wide range of items and deliver dependable, fast service at the new Union City spot.
Melinda found a team she could rely on for her company’s annual corporate e‑waste event: Eddie and his service tech, Jesse. Over five years she watched Jesse show up early, give relentless effort—110%—and stay late to handle extras, turning what could be a chaotic day into a smooth, well-run operation. Eddie and Jesse proved easy to work with and thoroughly professional every time. After half a decade of consistent performance she keeps rebooking them each year; the detail that stands out is Jesse’s willingness to go the extra mile—early arrivals, long hours, and taking on last‑minute tasks—that keeps her coming back.

Joan D. needed secure destruction of a laptop hard drive and called the company, finding someone who answered quickly and handled her questions in a friendly, helpful way.

She was satisfied enough to recommend them to a friend, and the combination of fair pricing for an internal drive plus the timely proof of destruction is what stuck with her.
Collin hired the recycler to clear out a mix of electronics and discovered they would accept everything — from bulky equipment to tiny accessories. He found the crew managed the job with professionalism and speed, stayed flexible about scheduling, and arrived punctually. The whole interaction ranked among the best he’s experienced with an e-waste service because there was no fuss over item size or quantity. He walked away impressed that one company would take it all, both large and small.
C M. needed items removed and found the company easy to contact by email. They discovered the quote was far cheaper than responses from random Craigslist or Facebook listings.
