A Local Answer to a Growing Problem
Gorgen E-Waste Recycling was founded in Hemet, California, with a simple goal: make it easy for homes and businesses across the Inland Empire to get rid of old electronics the right way. We are locally owned and operated, not a national chain — when you call us, you are working with people who live and work in the same communities we serve, from the San Jacinto Valley to the High Desert.
Electronics pile up faster than almost anything else in a garage, storage room, or office closet. Old TVs, dead laptops, tangled cables, and outdated servers are heavy, awkward, and — in California — illegal to throw in the trash. We started Gorgen to take that burden off your hands with a service that is convenient, affordable, and genuinely responsible.
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide responsible e-waste recycling that the Inland Empire can trust. Every device we collect represents both an environmental risk and a recovery opportunity. Handled carelessly, electronics leak toxic materials into the soil and water. Handled properly, the same devices give up valuable metals, glass, and plastics that can be recovered and reused. We exist to make sure your old electronics take the second path, not the first.
Why E-Waste Recycling Matters
Electronic waste is the fastest-growing category of waste in the country, and it is also one of the most hazardous. Screens, circuit boards, and batteries contain lead, mercury, cadmium, and other substances that can contaminate the environment and harm human health when they end up in a landfill. That is exactly why California classifies e-waste as hazardous and prohibits it from household and commercial trash. Choosing a proper recycling service is not just responsible — for businesses and residents alike, it keeps you on the right side of state law.
Recycling electronics also conserves resources. Recovering metals from old devices takes far less energy than mining new material, and refurbishing usable equipment keeps working technology in circulation instead of the waste stream. When you recycle with us, you are part of a cleaner, more efficient cycle for Southern California.
Serving 96 Cities Across the Inland Empire
From our base in Hemet, we serve all of Riverside and San Bernardino counties — 96 cities and communities in all. That includes Temecula, Murrieta, Menifee, Perris, and Lake Elsinore in the southwest; Riverside, Moreno Valley, Corona, and Jurupa Valley in the metro core; Fontana, Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga, San Bernardino, and Redlands across the valley; and the desert and mountain communities from Palm Springs and Indio to Victorville, Hesperia, and Big Bear Lake. Wherever you are in the region, we can reach you.
Committed to Responsible Practices
We are committed to responsible recycling practices and environmentally compliant disposal on every pickup. As we grow, we are working toward formal industry recognition, including R2 certification, so our customers have independent assurance that their electronics are handled to the highest standard. For now, our promise is straightforward: nothing we collect goes to a landfill, and everything is processed through legitimate recycling channels.
Our Approach: Pickup-Only, Zero Hassle
We operate on a pickup-only model, which means there is no drop-off location and nothing for you to haul. You tell us your city and roughly what needs to go, we set a pickup window that works for your schedule, and our crew handles the lifting and loading. Whether it is a single old TV from a garage or an entire office of retired computers, we bring the manpower and the trucks to you. That convenience is the whole point — recycling responsibly should be the easy choice, not the hard one.
