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.

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.

Electronic waste and batteries are barred from the trash and recycling carts, and El Cajon residents can take household hazardous waste items such as CRTs to the hauler's appointment-only drop-off in the city, free of charge.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. El Cajon residents may drop household hazardous waste items, including electronic waste such as CRTs, free of charge at 950 O'Connor Street in El Cajon by appointment only on Saturdays. The county also runs a hazardous waste line at 877-R-1-EARTH, and the hauler holds one free hazardous waste event a year.
When & how
Book the Saturday appointment on the EDCO site, by email at lmhhw@edcodisposal.com or by phone at (619) 287-5696 extension 4270.
Get it ready
Never put a television, computer, monitor or battery in a trash or recycling cart, because the hauler states that batteries and electronic waste must always be recycled or taken to a hazardous waste facility or event. Keep the device whole and ask about the accepted list when the appointment is booked, since the current bulky page names televisions as a bulky example while the resource guide excludes electronics from that route.
Recyclables, organics, hazardous waste, electronics, batteries, fluorescent bulbs, medical waste and needles, and automobile parts including motor oil, oil filters, batteries and tires are all kept out of the trash cart. Batteries and electronic waste must never go in a trash or recycling cart at all, and they go to the hazardous waste appointment instead.
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.
