Well organized and very easy to drop things off. The workers are very cordial and helpful. Will definitely continue using this service.

I dropped off a load of my electronics stuffs this morning based on the yelp's high rating. It's true, they were very helpful! Thanks!

A bit difficult to find but when I did locate it my recycling was left no problem on a cart outside the business! Easy peasy!

The team at A&J made it super easy to recycle my 50" tv that had stopped working. I pulled up to the shop, a gentleman brought out a cart for me. We unloaded the tv and I was off. Doesn't get much easier than that. The best part.... It was FREE! In short: Good service. Convenient. Free. I'll come back to A&J the next time I need to recycle my e-waste. read more

Not much too say other than it was super easy and painless to drop off e-waste at A&J's recycling. I had a bunch of random PC hardware leftover from a couple different PC builds. I also had an old monitor that I was able to drop off. All of this was free of charge! As an FYI they don't take florescent lightbulbs. Drop off was easy, they have a cart to help move things from your vehicle. Pretty easy and seamless. read more

I have dropped off multiple items over the years (e.g. laptops, monitors, 55" TV, connection cables, keyboards, chargers). It is always quick. If there are lot of items, or any unwieldy item, they always help with the unloading. read more

Find the address. Stop in front. Guy comes out with a trolly. Load stuff on trolly. Say Thank you and drive away. Its that easy.

I had a small 8 bottle wine fridge that I was looking to recycle. I called a number of places and no one said that they would take it. Based on the Yelp reviews I decided to try A&J. I called a few times and no answer but I loaded up the car and took a chance. When I arrived I showed the guy working there the wine fridge and was really happy when he said he would take it. I also had some old computer parts, cables, battery operated toys, dead tablets, old security camera, rechargeable battery charger, and network gear which they also took. Some of these items I had previously tried to take to Green Mouse but they would not accept. They do not accept light bulbs (of any type) and batteries (of any type). The guy working there helped me unload all the items and there was no charge to recycle any of the items. I highly recommend them!! (Note: I did find that the Ace Hardware in Los Gatos does accept batteries and fluorescent bulbs. Still looking for a place that takes LED bulbs) read more

A&J Electronics Recycling E-Waste - Recycling Center Near Me - San Jose, California

See all

FOOD: N/A SERVICE: 5 AMBIANCE: B/A VALUE: 5 Don't get ripped off by "local recycling" events which claim that you could recycle for free, but then ask for a "donation" to cover expenses. You have already paid for an electronics recycling fee when you bought the unit from a store (CA fee). So, don't pay again when you recycle it. At AJ's they never ask for anything and they will help you unload your car too! During these COVID-19 times, just pop open your trunk and they do all the heavy lifting. They wear mask and gloves when unloading to keep contact to a minimum. Great place to recycle all your electronics! read more

Mr. Ibarra and crew were friendly , helpful and efficient on a rainy day. ( they didn't answer the phone, but he said nobody tends to hang in the office. So we just went ) They greeted us right away. Had a lot of miscellaneous electronics, printers, cables, purifiers and office equipment. Brought out a wheeled bin and they had my trunk and backseat unloaded within five minutes . Easiest way to find the place off Mabury Road. they have signs on Mabury directing too. ( my Nav system did a weird thing off Commercial.) Can't beat free drop off also! read more

Super easy to drop off unwanted electronics and very friendly and helpful staff if you ever have questions

Great place to recycle your E-waste Had some things in my truck .. called them because it was a holiday to see if they were open.. no answer. .. but since I was so close I figured I'd just drive by.. glad I did.. found it backed up and the nice young man came and took the items out of my truck and I drive off.., easy !! (Apparently no one was in the office which is why the phone wasn't answered) read more

Great business. Drove in and workers unloaded all of the equipment and was off in less than 10 minutes. Excellent!

Had some LED bulbs from a recent update to my kitchen. Home Depot wouldn't take the bulbs since they are electronic and told me to take them to an electronic recycling place. This place flat out refused to take them. read more

Dropped off an LCD television that no longer worked for free. Only took less than a minute The business is located at the end of parking lot in the building with the big number 763. read more

Wonderful customer service as soon as they see you pull up and ready to take your recyclable items. I have came here twice now to recycle my lightbulbs & ink cartridges! Location: They are located in the back of the commercial plaza read more

Only free drop-off in the bay area. Don't pay. Consumer paid a recycling fee when the television was purchased. They can't take microwaves/LED bulbs since they don't accept money. I think the law says something about fees when handling certain materials. read more

Dropped off a flat screen TV, desktop computer, keyboard, and cell phones. It was so easy and quick. didn't pay a dime! They even helped me unload it from my car! read more

I've been to a couple of electronic recycling places and this is the first time they didn't go through everything and tell me they couldn't take this or they couldn't take that. I don't know if that's the norm for A&J but it was awesome. read more

This place can be hard to find as it is located in the far back of this small industrial plaza. It is a very small place. This place is a quick easy drop. Their covid procedure is pretty much just put what you want to recycle on the cart and walk away. You do not need to do anything else. It is pretty painless. I was able to recycle my printer pretty quickly at not cost but I was unable to recycle the empty cartridges as they do not take those. They will accept anything on their list without question. It was a pretty quick and painless recycling. The workers were really nice and asked if I had anything else in the car that I may need help unloading for recycling. read more

It's a free drop off! I dropped off below items: -2 printes -1 rice cooker -1 irobot -1 souvide machine (not big, cylinder shape) It's easy to spot the place as they have a road sign at your right hand side, turn to your left and all the way at the end, straight right in front of you for the shop. I am happy that I remove my junk with ZERO COST! read more

So glad to have found you! I was desperately looking for an e-recycler who took VHS... I know I know, how ancient of me, but we had a lot and I was not going to let them go to the landfills! A&J Electronics Recycling has 4 e-waste drop off locations (in addition to this address, one in Los Gatos, Mountain View, and another in SJ). There are other e-recyclers who charge per pound which I can imagine might deter some people from recycling. I went to QuickFix in Mountain View for a Saturday drop-off. It was super easy. The website also offers pick-up services; how awesome. I would highly recommend this! Bring them mixed tapes! http://www.ajelectronicrecycling.com/video-cassette-tapes-recycle-company-san-jose.html read more

Love these guys but they have been closed or hard to reach since covid. Hope they resume normal sooner than later! read more

Five stars all the way! A&J Electronics Recycling demonstrates why many of us like small businesses. The company is family owned and operated, serves community goals (recycling e-waste and helping the environment), and is customer-focused, courteous, and appreciative. I can't think of any negatives. So anyway, I went to A&J for the first time today, because my regular recycling facility wasn't accepting e-waste for some reason. I pulled into A&J's compact parking lot and parked about 20 feet away from the receiving area. After hopping out of my van, I was greeted by the worker (I think he's the owner), who proactively offered to help me unload a ton of e-waste from my van. That took all of about 3 minutes. There was no recycling fee, no labor fee (for unloading), no nothing! And get this: He thanked ME for dropping off the e-waste. Sure, he'll make some money on these items, but I've never ever been thanked by workers at any recycling facility for dropping off e-waste; well, not until today. I have nothing but high praise for A&J Electronics Recycling. I highly recommend that you consider this company for your e-waste drop-offs. Note: Access can be tricky. A&J is located in an industrial area of San Jose near the Oakland Road/101 interchange. Try to avoid the interchange if possible, due to the traffic bottleneck, which can be substantial even during this period of relatively light traffic courtesy of the COVID pandemic. If coming from the west, I suggest you take eastbound Hedding Street, hang a left onto Mabury Road immediately after the Highway 101 overcrossing, drive until you see the huge "761" logo emblazoned on a building in the modest industrial park where A&J is located, take the driveway immediately before or after the 761 building (both driveways work), and proceed to the back. You'll find A&J in the distant corner. The parking lot is a bit tight, but negotiable. If coming from the east, take westbound Berryessa Road, then hang a right onto Mabury Road just before the 101 overcrossing. read more

Drove up and double parked. No appointment. Dropped off 20 broken laptops. Easy peasy! Very nice man haloed me unload. Free!!!! read more

I finally got rid of all my old Cds! The guy there was nice and friendly, but didn't speak much English. I just gave him a box and left. They don't except VHS though unfortunately so those are just going to the trash. I always recycling what I can rather than throwing away in the trash. read more

Emailed(no one answered the phone) the business to inquire about picking up some old computer towers. Vince reply back saying he will pick it up for free.. yes free. He stopped by the office and picked them up. No hassle! read more

When my plasma TV went boom A&J responded promptly to my request on recycling and took it off my hands.

Pull in at the back of the 761 Building. The guy pulled his cart out and help me unload. Within 2 min, I am good to go again. Best part is FREE. The portable heater, speaker, computer tower, monitor, tire air pump... everything is free. read more

I had a collection of old computers, and obsolete disk drives, cables, etc. A whole car load! I went to A&J and was met at the back door by someone that helped get all the stuff out of my car. Absolutely no cost! The place is not hard to find but when you pull into the small business park you drive all the way to the back to find them. read more

I stopped by this morning to drop off some e-waste (computers and stereo equipment) but they appeared to be closed but there was no notice on the business. After getting home tried calling them but after many rings I received a message that their voicemail was full. Does anyone know if they are still in business? read more

Hard to find but once you do, it's a super fast drop off with assistance provided if needed. They take all kinds of e waste. The place is WAY in the back of the circular business park. The drive goes all the way around it read more

Not much to comment on here, the experience here was quick (30 seconds or so). The business is in the very back, so keep looking for it. There was a big black bin out front where you can drop off your eWaste. I dropped off my old P4 desktop, exchanged pleasantries with the guy working there, and just like that I was out of there. So fairly quick drop-off process. Bring your old electronics here rather than throwing in the dumpster. I kept my harddrives for security reasons but I think they can destroy them for you at a cost. read more

Easy! Looked for E-Waste to take copy machine, printer, lcd tv, and TONS of old cables and adapters. Most places I found charge for item, this one did not. Parked in back, got assistance to unload back of car and was out of there in a minute! Definitely use their service again! read more

I had a giant box of e-waste that I've slowly been accumulating & had no idea what do with. I found this place on yelp, drove there, a guy helped unload my car & took everything! I had old electronics, wires, batteries, light bulbs, & CDs- how awesome is that? I highly recommend this place & I will use it again. read more

It is a long building with many suites, so go all the way to the end of the building. I brought a few things to recycle including old Christmas lights. I got there at 5pm but saw a wheelbarrow next to the sign. I put my things in the container and a guy came out to greet me. Free and easy! I was surprised on their website that they accept VHS tapes, audio cassettes and CD's. I have thrown so many out. I'll need to save them up and bring them back now that I know! read more

A&J Electronics Recycling E-Waste - Recycling Center Near Me - San Jose, California

I really hate to throw things like plastic in the garbage that end up in the landfill. It is extremely hard to find a place in the bay area that recycles cds, dvds, vhs and cassette tapes. Well I finally found that place in A&J Electronics Recycling. They accept all kinds of e-waste for free. I had 4 boxes of floppy disks, vhs and mostly cds and dvds and the kind gentleman fro A&J helped me unload my car. The service is fast and friendly and I will definitely use them again. read more

Fast service. No issues. Used their service to recycle my old microwave. The person helped to take the microwave from my trunk and dispose it off. No hustle and fast service. read more

Easy e-waste drop off. Just pulled up, unloaded the electronics, tons of cables, phones, etc. They said "thank you" and I said "thank YOU!" Not so obvious though where they are located. Once on Mabury, look for a sign that says Freeway Business Park and pull into that complex. They are in the back corner. read more

Such a simple process to drop off electronics. Literally pulled up and opened the trunk. A kind gentleman took my TV and voila!
