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.

Republic Services runs electronic waste pickups for Brea residents with no limit on the number of pickups, and the county household hazardous waste centres take electronics too.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Brea residents on the Republic Services franchise, for electronic waste pickups, which the city's page publishes without a limit on the number of pickups.
When & how
Call Republic Services at (714) 238-2444 to arrange the e-waste pickup, or take the item to a County of Orange Household Hazardous Waste Collection Center, open Tuesday through Saturday 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and closed on rainy days and major holidays.
Get it ready
Keep electronics out of the black cart, which the city list says refuses electronics. Wipe or reset anything that stores data, and bring proof of Orange County residency to a centre, where a maximum of 15 gallons or 125 pounds may be brought per vehicle per visit and containers must have lids and be sturdy and non-leaking.
The trash cart is for everything that is not recyclable, but its unacceptable list names appliances, bulk items, electronics, batteries, fluorescent tubes and lights, concrete, construction debris, dirt, liquids, oil, grease, mirrors, sharps and hazardous or medical waste. Large pieces therefore leave on the bulky item pickup and electronics on the e-waste pickup, both arranged with Republic Services at (714) 238-2444.
Household hazardous waste and sharps go to a centre
Household hazardous waste cannot be placed in the trash and goes to a County of Orange collection centre, which is open to county residents on proof of residency, Tuesday through Saturday 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and closed on rainy days and major holidays. A maximum of 15 gallons or 125 pounds may be brought per vehicle per visit, containers need lids and must be sturdy and non-leaking, and empty cans are dried out and put in the regular trash. Used sharps go into a sealed, labelled strong plastic container and are taken to the Anaheim centre at 1071 N Blue Gum St, which the city says is free for county residents.
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.

Call Republic Services at (714) 238-2444 and arrange the e-waste collection separately from the three bulky item pickups.
