You’ve moved on. Your old electronics haven’t.

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.

Electronic waste is refused in the Hayward trash cart, and the city guide lists up to two e-waste items per bulky appointment at no fee alongside the county household hazardous waste facility on West Winton Avenue, which accepts electronics free for county residents.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Free to Alameda County residents at the Hayward facility with no appointment and identification at the gate, and the city guide's bulky item list separately allows two e-waste items per appointment at no fee. Businesses use a separate service.
When & how
Go to 2091 West Winton Ave. on Thursday or Friday from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. or Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., avoiding the published closures.
Get it ready
Keep electronics out of every cart, because the hauler names electronic and medical waste among the materials refused in the trash container. Wipe personal data, stay in the vehicle with the items in an unlocked trunk, and stay within 125 pounds or 15 gallons per visit in containers no larger than five gallons.
Place the cart on the street with the wheels against the curb by 6 a.m. on the collection day and bring it in the same day. Keep it at least three feet from parked cars, mailboxes and other obstacles, keep carts at least two feet apart from each other, and store them on private property and out of view from the street no later than midnight on collection day under the municipal code. Bag all trash and close the lid, because overflow can draw an extra charge or be left behind.
Batteries and motor oil go beside the recycle cart
Household batteries go in a sealed plastic bag next to the recycling cart, and motor oil jugs and filters go next to the cart as well for single-family homes, which is the set-out the city residential guide shows. These are curbside conveniences rather than cart contents, and the county facility on West Winton Avenue takes batteries, paint, chemicals and electronics if a trip is easier.
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.
