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.

Televisions, computers, monitors, printers, microwaves and anything that uses batteries or has a cord are accepted at the Household Products Collection Center, and the same items are taken again at the quarterly Zero Waste Day event. The transfer station refuses electronic waste, so the center and the event are the two routes.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. The Household Products Collection Center accepts electronics from Tempe and Guadalupe residents with proof of residency, and the quarterly Zero Waste Day event accepts them from residents of the same two communities with proof of residency.
When & how
The center is open Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. and is closed on Zero Waste Days, city holidays and select holiday weekends. The next Zero Waste Day event is Saturday, Nov. 7 from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Tempe Fire Training Center at 1340 East University Drive.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data before handover, bring the device whole rather than broken down, and use the drive-through procedure at either site: material in the rear-most part of the vehicle, cardboard boxes rather than plastic bags, and stay in the vehicle while staff unload.
The Household Products Collection Center and the Zero Waste Day event use the same procedure: have identification ready, load the material into the rear-most part of the vehicle such as the truck bed, trunk or rear hatch and never the front or back seat, transport it in cardboard boxes rather than plastic bags, and stay in the vehicle while staff unload. Boxes are not returned, and the center refuses items that arrive in garbage bags.
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.
Drop the item at the Household Products Collection Center
A Tempe or Guadalupe household with a television, a computer, a refrigerator, an air conditioner, tires, paint, chemicals or anything else that cannot go in the trash, the recycling or the bulk pile.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Tempe and Guadalupe residents with proof of residency, which the city accepts as a driver's license, a current utility bill printout, a student ID or an ID from a life care facility or cooperative residential community. The center publishes no fee and the city points residents there to avoid transfer station disposal fees.
Arrange it
Drive to 1320 E. University Drive on Wednesday, Friday or Saturday between 7 a.m. and 1 p.m. with the material in the rear-most part of the vehicle and identification ready.
The center takes only residential material, refuses items in garbage bags, construction debris, insulation, ammunition, medical waste and non-propane gas cylinders, and will not take a container larger than five gallons, so a bulk container needs a call to 480-858-2223 first.
A household that would rather clear out electronics, furniture, clothing, scrap metal, hazardous products or usable building material in one drive-through trip.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Tempe or Guadalupe residents with proof of residency, which the city accepts as a current driver's license, a lease or rental agreement, mail with a name and address, a recent Tempe water bill or a student ID from an institution in Tempe.
Arrange it
The published next event is Saturday, Nov. 7 from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Tempe Fire Training Center at 1340 East University Drive, with the same drive-through procedure as the collection center.
Mattresses are expressly refused at the event, as are bulk trash, car seats, small foam items and anything from a commercial or industrial business, and accepted items can change from event to event.

How much does electronics pickup cost in Tempe?+

A separate desktop tower and monitor are separate items. Loading, transportation and disposal are included; review the total and any applicable tax before payment.
Can you pick up old electronics today in Tempe?+
Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup. Choose from the dates shown at checkout and have the prepared items outside according to your confirmation. We text you when your hauler is on the way and provide photos when the pickup is done. The booking is for a day, not an exact arrival time.
Does computer removal include my monitor and printer?+
Desktop computer covers one tower or one all-in-one computer. Add a separate monitor, printer or laptop as its own item if it is going too. For small devices, cables and chargers together, choose Box of electronics and check the description before booking.
Do you erase data from old computers?+
Data erasure and certified data destruction are not included in Dropcurb removal. Back up the information you need, then follow the manufacturer’s sign-out and reset instructions before pickup. If a device cannot be erased or contains sensitive business information, arrange suitable data handling before giving it away. Completion photos confirm the pickup, not data destruction.Official guidance
Can I book one box of old cables and small electronics?+
Yes. Box of electronics is an existing option for small devices, cables and chargers together in one box. A monitor, desktop computer and printer each have their own item option. Send a photo before booking for a large or heavy box, unusual contents or separate batteries so we can confirm the fit.
