Old computer, spare monitor, printer that’s ready to go, gone from the curb. Choose your electronics, see the exact price and book by 2pm for same-day pickup.
Keep the setup you use. Clear out the one you don’t.
The old setup can go
You’ve moved on. Your old electronics haven’t.
The new laptop is working. The old monitor, tower and printer are still taking up a corner. Give the equipment you no longer use a pickup day, with the price settled before anyone arrives.
An exact price for your actual items.
Choose each device and see the total online. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. No visit just to find out the price.
A day to get it done.
Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup, or choose a future date shown at checkout. Prepare your devices and have them outside before pickup.
Updates through the handoff.
Get a booking confirmation, a text when your hauler is on the way and photos when the pickup is done. Your retired equipment is one less thing to keep track of.
A separate monitor and tower count separately. Small devices and cables have their own box option. Choose what is actually leaving so your price matches the pickup.
Monitor, desktop or laptop.
Choose Computer monitor for each separate display. Desktop computer covers one tower or one all-in-one computer. A laptop is its own item. Add only the devices going.
Printer or office copier.
A printer with a built-in scanner belongs under Printer. A floor-standing copy machine belongs under Office copier. The shape matters more than the brand.
A box of smaller electronics.
Use Box of electronics for small devices, cables and chargers together in one box. For a large or heavy box, unusual contents or separate batteries, send a photo and confirm the fit before booking.

Recyclable electronics cannot go in the trash pile and are dropped at the Richard A. Curry Environmental Complex on weekdays, free of charge, where flat-screen televisions, monitors, computers and microwaves are accepted.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Residents and organizations in West Alabama, on weekdays between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. The city states that citizens and businesses are not charged or compensated for dropping off electronics.
When & how
Drop the item at the Richard A. Curry Environmental Complex at 3440 Reese Phifer Ave. on a weekday between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. The printed e-cycle flyer gives 3440 Kauloosa Ave. for the same complex while the city pages give Reese Phifer, so confirm the entrance with the city on 205-248-4900 on a first trip. Electronics are not taken on city holidays, after hours, on weekends, at the drop-off recycling trailers or with curbside recycling.
Get it ready
Park in the designated space and a crew member collects the accepted items from your vehicle. Wipe personal data where you can, because the city assumes no responsibility for data left on collected devices. Projector style televisions, light bulbs, non-rechargeable batteries, VHS and cassette tapes and smoke detectors are refused, so confirm an unusual item at 205-248-5311.
Keep garbage, chemicals, tires and electronics out of the pile
Household garbage, hazardous waste such as paint, light bulbs, batteries and chemicals, recyclable materials, tires and loose glass are refused in the trash pile, and so is anything generated by a compensated person such as a contractor or tree trimmer. Recyclable electronics are refused too and have to go to the Curry Complex on a weekday instead, while household recyclables belong in the free curbside bin or a county drop-off trailer.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.
