Updates through the handoff.

Electronics are sorted as their own group in the annual curbside cleanup, they can be dropped at the Fairmead Landfill, and a television or computer monitor is accepted there free of charge.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. A television or computer monitor is accepted free of charge at the Fairmead Landfill, and electronics are sorted out at no extra charge during the annual curbside cleanup for a single-family home inside the city limits. An on-demand household electronic waste pickup ordered through Mid Valley Disposal is priced separately, so ask for the amount when the request is placed.
When & how
Put electronics with the sorted cleanup pile up to three days before the scheduled cleanup date, or drop them at the Fairmead Landfill at 21739 Road 19 in Chowchilla, which is open Monday to Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Saturday from 7:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and closed Sundays and major holidays.
Get it ready
Keep electronics out of all three carts, because the hauler lists electronic waste among the items that must not go in a container. Wipe personal data from a computer, phone or drive before it leaves the property.
The annual curbside cleanup takes one pile per single-family home inside the city limits, no larger than 5 feet by 5 feet by 10 feet and roughly one truckload. Put it out up to three days before the scheduled cleanup date, at least six inches back from the curb so sewer vents, water inlets, mailboxes and fire hydrants stay clear, and bag or box anything loose.
The city asks residents to separate debris, appliances, mattresses, electronics, green waste and general trash rather than mixing them into one heap. Sorting is what lets the crew and the recycling routes handle each group, and it is also why a mattress and an appliance should not end up buried under loose rubbish.
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 single-family home inside the Madera city limits with excess trash, bulky debris, appliances, mattresses, electronics or green waste to clear.
Cost & conditions
No charge. The cleanup is an event rather than a per item charge, and it is open to single-family homes inside the Madera city limits. Unincorporated county addresses, multi-family dwellings and commercial businesses are excluded by name.
Arrange it
Watch for the city flyer in the utility bill and the zone map for the area, then put the sorted pile out up to three days before the scheduled cleanup date.
One pile per home, no larger than 5 feet by 5 feet by 10 feet, and the long refused list applies, including tires, batteries, paint, propane tanks, needles, dirt and rock, 50-gallon drums, and anything over four feet long or 150 pounds.
A household that missed the cleanup window and has appliances, a couch, a mattress, electronic waste, tires or bagged trash to clear.
Cost & conditions
Mid Valley Disposal describes the bulky item collection as a temporary service at a low rate and does not publish the amount on the pages read here. Submit the request and the representative who contacts the customer quotes the pickup, so confirm the amount at 559-237-9425 before the job order is confirmed.
Arrange it
Submit the bulky pick-up request or call 559-237-9425. A representative responds during business hours Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and submits a job order, so wait for the confirmation before setting anything out.
This is an on-demand service priced per request rather than a scheduled municipal collection, and the accepted items are the hauler's call on the request, so confirm the specific item list when the pickup is arranged.
A household with a television, a computer monitor or other electronic waste to dispose of.
Cost & conditions
No charge. The City states that televisions and computer monitors are accepted free of charge at the Fairmead Landfill. Other material in the same load is handled at the gate, so keep a free item load separate if only the free items are intended.
Arrange it
Take the devices to the Fairmead Landfill at 21739 Road 19 in Chowchilla, open Monday to Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Saturday from 7:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., and closed Sundays and major holidays.
The landfill is a county facility rather than a city one, the household hazardous waste window there runs only on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and is open to Madera County residents only, and other material dropped at the same time is charged at the gate.

Electronics removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Madera.
How much does electronics pickup cost in Madera?+
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 Madera?+
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 can I take a television?+
The Fairmead Landfill at 21739 Road 19 in Chowchilla accepts televisions and computer monitors free of charge. The city notes that these devices can contain mercury paste, gas and leaded glass, which is why they are handled as household hazardous waste rather than as trash.Official guidance
Can electronics go in the cart or the cleanup pile?+
Not in a cart, because Mid Valley Disposal lists electronic waste among the items that must not be placed in the containers and the city's guide puts electronics in the not allowed in any cart group. Electronics are collected in the annual curbside cleanup when they are sorted into their own group, or dropped at the landfill.Official guidance

City Utility Billing at 559-661-5459 confirms the amount billed on the account.Official guidance
Do apartments and businesses qualify for the curbside cleanup?+
No. The citywide curbside cleanup is limited to single-family homes inside the Madera city limits and it excludes unincorporated areas of Madera County, multi-family dwellings and commercial businesses. Mid Valley Disposal still handles residential and commercial collection, so an apartment resident can ask the property manager or order a bulky item pickup from the hauler.Official guidance
