How much do you pay for an old laptop in Bengaluru?
We pay ₹250 per piece for a laptop, ₹150 per piece for a desktop CPU, ₹25 per piece for a tablet and ₹60 per piece for a printer or scanner. The rate is published before you book, and the agent pays you to UPI at the door.
What do you pay for an old TV or monitor?
We pay ₹50 per piece for an LED TV, ₹125 per piece for a CRT TV and ₹95 per piece for a CRT monitor. Old CRT sets are bulky, so the vehicle column shows what comes for one.
What about cables, chargers and small electronics?
Electronics without their own per-piece rate go in as mixed e-waste, weighed at ₹15 per kg.
Should I remove my data first?
Yes. Back up and wipe phones, laptops and tablets yourself, and take out SIM and memory cards, before the pickup. The device is collected as scrap.
What happens to e-waste after pickup?
Recyclers take it apart so its metals can be recovered. Anything hazardous is routed separately under Karnataka's e-waste rules, with nothing extra for you to do.
How is it weighed and paid?
On a scale at your door, while you watch, and paid to your UPI the same day, after weighing. The price range you saw when booking is locked for 48 hours and becomes one exact number on the scale.
Which vehicle comes, and is there a pickup fee?
The weight and size of your load decide it: motorcycle up to 10 kg (no fee, ₹150 minimum), goods auto up to 250 kg (₹49 fee, ₹300 minimum) and Tata Ace up to 750 kg (₹149 fee, ₹500 minimum). You see the vehicle and its fee before you book.
