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 free through the residential pickup programme at up to four items a week, and the Desert Arc events add a free drop-off open to the whole Coachella Valley.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Indio residents for the weekly electronic waste pickup, up to four electronic items a week, and anyone in the Coachella Valley for the free Desert Arc collection events.
When & how
Call Burrtec at 760-340-2113 to schedule the electronic waste pickup before anything goes to the curb, and use your regular trash day. The Desert Arc events are the free drop-off alternative, with questions at 760-346-1611.
Get it ready
Wipe or reset anything that stores data, and keep electronics out of the regular trash, because it is illegal to put hazardous electronics such as cathode ray tube televisions and monitors, LCD monitors, LCD televisions, plasma televisions and laptops with LCD displays into the trash. The busiest route takes up to four items a week.
The city ordinance does not allow garbage or garbage containers to be left at the curbside for more than 24 hours, and the same 24 hour rule applies to a bulky item or electronic waste set-out before its scheduled pickup. Keeping the curb clear also discourages illegal dumping.
Book five days ahead and keep to four items a week
Bulky item and electronic waste pickups are free and unlimited in number, but each request has to reach Burrtec at least five days before the regular garbage collection day, the material goes out no more than 24 hours before the scheduled pickup, and Burrtec collects a maximum of four items a week.
Hazardous material never goes in the trash or recycling
Oil based paint, car batteries, refrigerators, air conditioning units, televisions, computer monitors, pesticides and similar items cannot go in the curbside trash or recycling containers. The city gives (760) 391-4129 for proper disposal and points at the Coachella and Indio Waste Transfer Station on Landfill Road, where the ABOP centre takes antifreeze, batteries, oil, filters and paint only. The county's permanent facility on Vella Road in Palm Springs takes all household hazardous waste types.
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.
