What monitor removal involves

Getting rid of an old monitor isn't as simple as dragging it to the curb. Most counties in the Twin Cities metro prohibit tossing electronics in regular trash, and a CRT monitor contains enough lead to create real liability if it ends up in a landfill. Junk Genius handles monitor removal the right way: we pick up, load, and route every screen to a certified electronics recycling facility so you're never on the wrong side of Minnesota's e-waste rules. One call to (612) 444-5865 and it's handled.

The process is straightforward. You tell us how many monitors you need removed, what types they are, and where they're sitting. We show up, load everything, and haul it off. We give you an on-site price based primarily on how much material we take away. All sorting, loading, and recycling fees are built into the price. No surprise electronics surcharge at the end. Every job is different, so contact Junk Genius for an accurate estimate on your specific load.

WHAT WE TAKE

Every Screen Type, One Pickup

CRT, LCD, LED, curved displays, all-in-ones: if it was a monitor, we'll take it.

CRT Monitors

The heavy glass dinosaurs from the server room or storage closet. CRTs contain lead and can't go in a dumpster. We handle them correctly, period.

LCD and LED Flat Panels

Desktop monitors from 15 inches to ultrawide. Single units or full pallets after an office upgrade. You don't have to unplug or stack them first.

All-in-One PCs

The screen and the computer are one unit, we take the whole thing. No need to strip it down before we arrive.

Bulk IT Refreshes

Upgrading 20 desks or 200? We've done large-scale office pickups and know how to move volume fast without disrupting your operation.

Small TVs Used as Screens

A 32-inch TV mounted above a reception desk is still a screen. We take those too. Check out our TV removal and recycling service if you've got a mix of both.

Mixed E-Waste Loads

Monitors mixed in with printers, keyboards, and old towers? Bring it all out. We sort on our end. You pay only for the truck space used.

WHY IT MATTERS

Why Monitor Disposal Is Regulated in Minnesota

Minnesota prohibits the disposal of CRT monitors and most flat-panel displays in municipal solid waste. That's not a suggestion. A monitor tossed in a dumpster or set at the curb for regular garbage pickup can result in fines for the property owner or business. The reason the law exists is straightforward: a single CRT screen can contain 4 to 8 pounds of lead, plus small amounts of mercury and cadmium. When those materials reach a landfill and the housing cracks, they leach into soil and groundwater. Flat panels aren't clean either: LCD backlights have historically used mercury lamps, and the circuit boards in any monitor contain materials that don't belong in general waste. Junk Genius routes every monitor we collect to certified electronics recycling processors. The glass, plastic, and metals get separated and recovered. What can be reused is. What can't is processed in compliance with state regulations. You get a clear space and a clear conscience. That's the playbook.

PRICING

What Monitor Removal Actually Costs

We give you an on-site price based primarily on how much material we take away. You pay only for the space your monitors and related e-waste take up in the truck. That means a single monitor sits at the low end of the range, while a bulk IT refresh with 50-plus screens will land higher. Every quote includes loading, sorting, hauling, and recycling fees. No separate electronics surcharge. No hidden line items. We also back every quote with a 10% Price Beat Guarantee. If you've got a written estimate from another licensed hauler, show it to us and we'll beat it by 10%. That offer is real and it's in writing. Every job is different, so contact Junk Genius for an accurate estimate on your specific load. Call (612) 444-5865 or book online.

THE FOUR R'S

How Junk Genius Handles Your Monitors After Pickup

Remove

We safely clear all monitors and related e-waste from your location. Office, home, storage unit, facility: wherever they are, we go get them.

Re-use

When a monitor still has functional life, we explore reuse options before sending it to recycling. A working flat panel that's just oversized for a home office might have a second life somewhere else.

Recycle

Monitors that can't be reused go to certified electronics recycling facilities. Glass, plastics, metals, and circuit boards are processed according to Minnesota's e-waste regulations.

Responsible Disposal

What cannot be recycled or reused is disposed of in full compliance with state and federal rules. Nothing gets dumped in a regular landfill. That's a hard line for us.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Monitor Removal Questions, Answered Straight

How do I get rid of my old monitor?

In Minnesota, you can't legally set most monitors out with regular trash. Your options are a certified e-waste drop-off site, a manufacturer take-back program, or a licensed hauler like Junk Genius. If you've got more than one screen or you'd rather not haul it yourself, call (612) 444-5865 and we'll schedule a pickup, often same week.

How do you remove a monitor?

We don't need you to do anything beforehand. Our crew goes to wherever the monitor is sitting, disconnects any cables if they're still attached, and carries it out. For bulk pickups, we bring extra hands. You don't need to stage anything at the curb or strip the unit down.

Can you remove a monitor from its stand?

We take the whole unit, stand included. If the stand is VESA-mounted to a desk arm and you want the arm to stay, let us know when you call and we'll work around it. In most cases, the stand comes with the screen and we load both.

How do I remove a monitor from the display setup in an office?

For multi-monitor desk setups, we disconnect and remove each screen individually. If you have cable management systems or mounted arms you're keeping, tell us before we arrive and we'll work around them. For large office IT refreshes, we coordinate with your facility manager to minimize disruption.

Do CRT monitors cost more to recycle than flat panels?

CRTs are heavier and contain more regulated materials, which is why some haulers charge extra or refuse them entirely. We don't refuse them. Pricing is still volume-based: you pay for the truck space used, not a separate per-unit fee for CRT type. A single CRT monitor falls in the same base pricing range as a flat panel of similar size.

What happens to my monitors after Junk Genius picks them up?

Every monitor goes to a certified electronics recycling facility. CRTs are processed for glass and lead recovery. Flat panels and all-in-ones are disassembled for circuit board recovery, plastic recycling, and proper handling of any hazardous components. We don't haul monitors to a standard landfill. That's not a marketing claim. It's our operating standard for about 15 years.
