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.

Electronics have two Brentwood routes: the free cleanup events take computers, televisions and other electronic waste in the household load as long as batteries come out first, and the city treats electronic waste as part of the hazardous waste stream that goes to Delta Diablo for free.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Free at a Neighborhood Cleanup Event for a household with an active garbage account, and free to East Contra Costa County residents through the Delta Household Hazardous Waste Collection Facility and its annual Saturday events, with a valid driver's licence at the events.
When & how
Register for a cleanup event before registration closes, or take the devices to the Delta Household Hazardous Waste Collection Facility at 2550 Pittsburg-Antioch Hwy in Pittsburg, and note the annual east county events: the second Saturday of May in Oakley, the third Saturday of June in Discovery Bay and the second Saturday of October at the Brentwood Transfer Station, 2301 Elkins Way, all from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
Get it ready
Remove batteries from computers, televisions, appliances and battery-powered toys before the load goes in, because the city asks for that on both the cleanup page and the extra pickup page, and wipe personal data from a computer before handover. Never put electronics in the garbage or organics carts, and keep them out of the recycling stream unless the item is on the city's mixed recycling list.
Carts out by 5 a.m., three feet apart, lids closed
Set carts at the curb the night before or by 5 a.m. on the collection day, with the lid opening facing the street and the wheels against the curb, three feet apart and at least six feet from vehicles, mailboxes, light posts and basketball hoops. Lids have to close, because an open lid means the cart is not serviced and a return trip carries an extra fee, and residents are asked to stay 15 feet back from a working truck.
A cleanup event needs an online registration with the utility account number
Register online with the City of Brentwood utility billing account number and pick one of the pre-scheduled dates and times, because registration closes when the event is full or two days before it, whichever comes first, and a permit caps the site at 700 vehicles a day. A household may register for one spring event and one fall event, and each registration covers up to two cubic yards of household material.
Wood and tires unload at the last stop, so load them first: wood must be unpainted and untreated and a household may bring up to four tires. Then load e-waste such as computers, televisions and appliances with the batteries removed, then mattresses, which unload at the back of the site, then yard waste such as branches, leaves and grass clippings, then scrap metal, and finally general household waste, with batteries taken out of battery-powered items first.
Only Christmas and New Year's Day move a Brentwood collection day
Christmas Day and New Year's Day are the only two holidays that affect garbage service, and when one of them falls on a weekday the collection runs one day later for that week only. A holiday that falls on a Saturday or Sunday changes nothing, and every other holiday keeps the regular schedule.
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.
A Brentwood household with an active garbage account that has up to two cubic yards of household material to clear, including furniture, appliances, mattresses, electronics, metal, wood and yard waste.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Free to Brentwood residents with an active garbage account, one spring event and one fall event per household, with each registration covering up to two cubic yards, and entry controlled by a permit that caps the site at 700 vehicles a day.
Arrange it
Register online with the utility billing account number, choose a date and time before registration closes at capacity or two days before the event, and drive the loaded vehicle to the Brentwood Transfer Station at 2301 Elkins Way during the booked window.
Two cubic yards per registration, one spring and one fall event, online registration required and closing two days ahead or when full, and the loading order matters because wood and tires unload at the last stop while mattresses unload at the back.
Delta Household Hazardous Waste for electronics and chemicals
An east Contra Costa County household with paint, motor oil, pesticides, cleaners, batteries, fluorescent bulbs or electronics.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Free to residents of East Contra Costa County, including Brentwood, Antioch, Pittsburg and Oakley, through the Delta Diablo program; a valid driver's licence is required at the Saturday events.
Arrange it
Use the Delta Household Hazardous Waste Collection Facility at 2550 Pittsburg-Antioch Hwy in Pittsburg, or one of the annual Saturday events: the second Saturday of May at Oakley City Hall, the third Saturday of June at Discovery Bay Elementary School and the second Saturday of October at the Brentwood Transfer Station, all from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
The programme is for east county residents rather than businesses, the city publishes the event dates and sites but not the facility's opening hours, and the acceptable item list lives with Delta Diablo at (925) 756-1990.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Electronics removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Brentwood.
How much does electronics pickup cost in Brentwood?+
A computer monitor is $79 as the first item and $19 as an additional item. Choose the actual devices and quantities to see your combined price online. 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 Brentwood?+
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.
Where do Brentwood televisions and computers go?+
To a Neighborhood Cleanup Event, where computers, televisions and other electronic waste are part of the free two cubic yard household load with the batteries removed, or to the Delta Household Hazardous Waste program, which is free to east county residents at its Pittsburg facility and at three Saturday events a year, including one at the Brentwood Transfer Station on the second Saturday of October.Official guidance
Who collects garbage in Brentwood?+
The City of Brentwood itself: the Solid Waste Division has run collection since 1994, so cart questions, extra pickups and service changes all go to (925) 516-6090 rather than a private hauler. City Hall is at 150 City Park Way and is open Monday to Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and the carts remain City property.Official guidance
How do the Brentwood cleanup events work?+
Register online with a City of Brentwood utility billing account number and choose a date and time, because registration closes when the event fills or two days ahead, whichever comes first, and a permit caps the site at 700 vehicles a day. A household gets one spring and one fall registration, each covering up to two cubic yards of household material, and everything is unloaded at the Brentwood Transfer Station on Elkins Way.Official guidance
Where do Brentwood households take paint, oil and batteries?+
To the Delta Household Hazardous Waste program, which is free for East Contra Costa County residents. The year-round facility is at 2550 Pittsburg-Antioch Hwy in Pittsburg, and there are three Saturday events each year, 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., in May at Oakley City Hall, in June at Discovery Bay Elementary School and in October at the Brentwood Transfer Station on Elkins Way. Bring a valid driver's licence to an event.Official guidance
