What qualifies for a free Mountain View pickup

Free pickups in Mountain View require a minimum of five qualifying items. Qualifying items include:

  • Desktop computers
  • Laptops and notebooks
  • LCD and CRT monitors
  • Servers and rack equipment
  • Networking equipment (switches, routers, firewalls)
  • Test equipment and lab instrumentation

Once the 5-item minimum is met, we also accept printers, scanners, phones, tablets, projectors, UPS battery backups, lead-acid batteries, fluorescent tubes, cables, and miscellaneous IT hardware on the same pickup.

For pickups below the 5-item minimum, fees range from $50–$100 depending on the Mountain View location.

Certified data destruction for Mountain View businesses

Mountain View’s customer mix includes some of the most data-sensitive operations in Silicon Valley. Every storage device passes through our data destruction process before it leaves the warehouse:

  • 7-pass hard drive wipe meeting DoD 5220.22-M standards
  • Physical shredding available when required for HIPAA, CCPA, supplier NDA, genomic / personal data, federal contractor, or other contractual reasons
  • Certificates of destruction issued on request for compliance and audit records
  • Chain-of-custody documentation from pickup through final disposition

SSDs, magnetic drives, backup tapes, and other storage media are handled separately from general equipment to eliminate any risk of data exposure. Software, cloud, and biotech customers in Mountain View frequently have SOC 2, ISO 27001, supplier-contract, and HIPAA / genomic data obligations that demand stricter documentation, and we’ll match the standard your auditor or program requires.

Built for Mountain View tech-campus and research-corridor logistics

Mountain View pickups have their own access patterns, and we plan around them:

  • North Bayshore tech-campus coordination with corporate facilities teams, security desks, and shuttle/road access protocols
  • Large-tech-satellite and supplier office pickups with NDA coverage and supplier-contract documentation
  • NASA Ames / Moffett Field contractor access — federal facility entry protocols, badging, and escort requirements when applicable
  • Startup pickups at any scale — from single-suite teams in Downtown Mountain View to multi-floor expansions or contractions in Castro Street and Whisman buildings
  • Multi-tenant biotech and life sciences buildings with lab access restrictions and personal-data destruction documentation
  • Loading dock, freight elevator, and gated-campus access at tech buildings
  • After-hours and weekend pickups available for buildings or campuses with restricted daytime freight
  • Certificates of Insurance issued to property managers, corporate facilities teams, and Research Park operators ahead of arrival

Compliance and certifications

  • R2 Certified downstream recyclers for every material stream
  • EPA-compliant transport and processing
  • California SB 20 (Electronic Waste Recycling Act) compliant
  • Fully insured — Certificates of Insurance available to Mountain View property managers, corporate facilities teams, and federal contractor sites on request

Do you service residential customers in Mountain View? No. I Got E-Waste is a commercial-only service for Mountain View businesses, tech campuses, startups, research organizations, schools, nonprofits, and government agencies with at least five qualifying items. Mountain View residents looking to recycle a single computer or TV can use Recology Silicon Valley curbside resources or the Santa Clara County Household Hazardous Waste Program (free, by appointment).

Can you handle pickups for NASA Ames / Moffett Field contractors and research partners? Yes. We coordinate pickups for federal contractor and research partner sites on the NASA Ames perimeter, including badging, escorted access, and program-specific data destruction documentation when required. Mention the access protocol when you request the pickup.

Can you handle pickups for large-tech-campus satellite offices and supplier vendors in Mountain View? Yes. Satellite-office and supplier-vendor pickups are a regular part of our Mountain View work, including NDA coverage, supplier-contract documentation, and coordination with corporate facilities teams. We do not claim to service any individual tech company directly — pickups are scheduled by the tenant or supplier requesting the service.

The 5-item minimum applies regardless of company stage. Mention your timeline and item types at scheduling and we’ll plan accordingly.

Can you handle biotech and genomics decommissions in Mountain View? Yes. We coordinate pickups of lab computers, sequencing-adjacent hardware, test equipment, and storage media from biotech and genomics tenants. Personal-data and genomic-data destruction has stricter documentation requirements than general commercial work, and we’ll match the standard your program requires.

How fast can you schedule a pickup in Mountain View? Most Mountain View pickups are scheduled within 1–2 business days. Tech-campus access, NASA Ames perimeter, biotech labs, and confidentiality-sensitive matters typically book 5–7 days out to allow for coordination.

Can you provide a Certificate of Insurance for a Mountain View building or campus? Yes. We carry comprehensive commercial liability insurance and issue Certificates of Insurance to property managers, corporate facilities teams, and campus operators on request, including additional-insured endorsements specific to building, campus, or federal facility requirements.

Nothing is exported overseas illegally or sent to landfill, and chain-of-custody documentation is available for your audit records.
