Drop-Off
Standard printers are accepted free at our West Los Angeles and Canoga Park locations. No appointment is required during regular business hours.
Large copiers, production printers and wide-format equipment require advance review.
Find a Drop-Off LocationBusiness Pickup
Printers may be included with a qualifying business electronics pickup, but printers alone do not count toward the free-pickup minimum.
Free pickup may be available when the load includes at least 10 combined desktop computers, laptops, servers or computer monitors. Once the minimum is met, accepted printers, scanners, cartridges and accessories may be included.
Special labor, oversized equipment, difficult-access locations and other requested services may be quoted separately.
