Retired electronics can take up useful space in a leasing office, shared facility or apartment. Foothill Electronics Pickup reviews property-owned equipment and requests from residents who choose to take part. We call to agree on the items and arrangements before confirming. Accepted, confirmed pickups are free.
For a property question, email pickup@foothillpickup.com or call (530) 648-3948. Start with your ZIP and the types and quantities of electronics.
For property managers
Start with equipment the property owns and that you are authorized to transfer. A short list of retired office computers, tablets, audio equipment or other electronics gives us a useful starting point. Working, broken and untested items can all be reviewed.
If residents are interested, share this page so they can contact us themselves. Participation is voluntary, and each owner must agree to transfer their items. Please do not send a tenant list or collect residents’ passwords or device files.
Contact us before arranging a shared collection point or announcing a pickup date. We need to review the quantity, route and practical arrangements first. Equipment left behind by a former resident should not be included unless you have established authority to transfer it.
For residents
You can request pickup for electronics you own. Check with your property manager before using a shared area or making arrangements that affect building access. Selecting an online window starts a request; it is not a confirmed appointment.
During the callback, we agree where the accepted items can be collected and discuss building access and loading. Keep equipment inside and dry until the arrangements are confirmed. Do not leave it in a hallway, stairwell, exit or other shared path.
What to include in your item list
- Computers, laptops, phones and tablets, with quantities and any known account locks or faults.
- Speakers, receivers, amplifiers, DVD or Blu-ray players, game consoles and related accessories.
- Intact CRT televisions, with a photo or model if safely available. Do not turn a set on or open it just for the request.
Include only the accessories you actually have. Photos are optional and should show equipment without people, tenant details or private screen contents. Read what we collect and the exclusions before grouping items. Damaged batteries, broken CRT tubes and large appliances are outside an ordinary pickup.
Each device owner’s data needs attention
Back up anything you need and remove accounts or activation locks using the maker’s instructions where possible. A workplace-managed device needs its organization’s authorization. The person authorized to transfer the equipment also needs to authorize the irreversible storage processing described in our pickup terms.
Our personal-data preparation guide explains backups, locked devices and the difference between a pickup receipt and a later processing record. Keep passwords, PINs and recovery keys private.
Check the route before making plans
We usually work within about 20 driving miles of Colfax, with farther requests reviewed individually. The service-area guide explains how address review works. Every pickup depends on the agreed items, route and confirmation.
