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.

A television is a bulky large item rather than a cart item: the hauler's brochure names televisions among the individual large items a pickup takes, and California's covered device law bars monitors and televisions from regular garbage. The county hazardous waste facility at the Chico airport takes cathode-ray units.
City cost & eligibility
A television on a bulky pickup uses the account's annual allowance, and the city rate schedule effective July 1, 2026 prices a further collection separately at $73.81 for the first cubic yard with $20.13 for each further cubic yard on the same trip. The household hazardous waste facility is free to Butte County households that show a garbage or utility bill, while a qualifying small business pays a fee and needs an appointment.
When & how
Add the television to a bulky pickup booked at least 48 hours ahead, or take it to the Butte Regional Household Hazardous Waste Facility at 1101 Marauder Street, open Fridays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. with no appointment for a county household.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data from a computer before it leaves the house, keep electronics and batteries out of every cart, and keep a cathode-ray unit off a landfill load. The facility asks for original labeled containers, no mixing, and no more than five gallons or 50 pounds per trip.
A bulky pickup is booked by phone and confirmed by the allowance
Waste Management runs the city's bulky collection, so the route is a phone call rather than an online request: (530) 893-4777, at least 48 hours before the usual collection day, with the items named when the appointment is made. Everything has to be curbside by 5 a.m. on the collection day. The account's annual allowance is what decides whether the pickup is included or billed, and the city rate schedule effective July 1, 2026 prices further collections, further cubic yards and an item containing Freon separately.
Carts go out by 6 a.m. and nothing else rides along
Trash, recycling and green waste come out on the same weekly collection day with the container against the curb and at least three feet from parked cars, mailboxes and other obstacles, and the container goes back in the same day. All trash is bagged and the lid has to close, because overflow or material left outside can be billed or left behind. Construction waste, auto parts, tires, household hazardous waste and medical or electronic waste do not belong in any cart.
What the bulky pickup and the landfill will not take
Tires, construction debris, medical waste and household hazardous waste are refused in a bulky pickup, and the county landfill refuses liquid paints, antifreeze, used motor oil, freon gas, compressed gases, pool chemicals, ammunition and explosives on top of that. Paints, cleaners, automotive fluids, batteries, fluorescent lights and electronic waste go instead to the Butte Regional Household Hazardous Waste Facility at 1101 Marauder Street, which is free to county households that show a garbage or utility bill and is open Fridays and Saturdays.
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.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Electronics removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Chico.
How much does electronics pickup cost in Chico?+
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 Chico?+
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 televisions and computers go in Chico?+
Two published routes. A television can go out as one of the individual large items on a curbside bulky pickup, and the county's household hazardous waste facility at 1101 Marauder Street takes monitors and televisions containing cathode-ray tubes along with computers, batteries and fluorescent lights. Working computers can also be donated through the county's reuse listing, which names Chico Computers for Classrooms on Otterson Drive.Official guidance
Who collects trash and bulky items in Chico?+
Waste Management collects residential garbage, recycling and green waste inside the city limits under the city franchise, and the city's environmental services line answers program questions at (530) 592-5541 or Recycle@chicoca.gov. Commercial collection was franchised to both Recology Butte and Colusa Counties and Waste Management in designated zones. County government runs the landfill and the household hazardous waste facility, which is why bulky, construction and hazardous questions cross between the city franchise and the county.Official guidance
How many bulky pickups does a Chico household get?+
The hauler's Chico service brochure gives each residential account up to two curbside bulky pickups a year, each one a combination of loose material up to four cubic yards and three individual large items such as a television, furniture or an appliance. The city rate schedule effective July 1, 2026 prices a further collection, further cubic yards and any item containing Freon separately, so confirm what remains on the account when you book at (530) 893-4777.Official guidance
Where do paint, batteries and televisions go in Chico?+
To the Butte Regional Household Hazardous Waste Facility at 1101 Marauder Street at the Chico airport, which takes paints including latex, cleaners, automotive fluids, batteries, fluorescent lights, televisions and monitors with cathode-ray tubes, pharmaceuticals and sharps. It is free to Butte County households that show a garbage or utility bill, and it is open Fridays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. with no appointment. No more than five gallons or 50 pounds can travel at one time.Official guidance
