The old setup can go
You’ve moved on. Your old electronics haven’t.
The new laptop is working. The old monitor, tower and printer are still taking up a corner. Give the equipment you no longer use a pickup day, with the price settled before anyone arrives.
An exact price for your actual items.
Choose each device and see the total online. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. No visit just to find out the price.
A day to get it done.

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 bulky collection, and Pasadena instead runs one-day e-waste and shredding events through the year, while Los Angeles residents can also use the free S.A.F.E. collection centers.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. The city one-day e-waste events are free to residents, and the Los Angeles S.A.F.E. centers are free for household hazardous waste and electronic waste, capped at 15 gallons or 125 pounds per visit.
When & how
Check the city calendar for the next one-day e-waste and document shredding event, which is scheduled around space availability at the Rose Bowl, or drive to a S.A.F.E. collection center, and subscribe through the City Service Center for event notices.
Get it ready
Erase sensitive data before recycling any device, remove fluorescent bulbs from lamps and metal housings, and leave white goods, air conditioners, water heaters, car batteries, solar panels and large printer or copier units at home, because the events refuse them. Keep electronics out of the bulky pile and the carts.
Electronic waste such as televisions, DVD players, cellphones, gaming consoles, computers and monitors is refused, along with construction and roofing material such as concrete, cement, bricks, roof shingles, tiles and drywall, household hazardous materials such as paint, batteries, fertilizer, oil and cleaning supplies, landscaping project material such as dirt, sand, gravel, large branches and stumps, bushes and railroad ties, and automobile parts except up to two tires without rims. Refrigerators and air conditioning units are refused as well. Wood, pipe and branches must be no longer than three feet and tied into easy to handle bundles, and glass and mirrors should stay visible to the crew.
Household chemicals leave through the county network
Household hazardous waste cannot go in the garbage, down a storm drain or onto the ground. Los Angeles County residents can take paint, solvents, cleaning products, used motor oil and filters, antifreeze and other automotive fluids, pool and garden chemicals, aerosol cans, fluorescent bulbs and sharps to a free S.A.F.E. collection center or a county one-day event, with a limit of 15 gallons or 125 pounds per visit. Pasadena also takes household batteries and light bulbs at selected libraries and community centers, PaintCare retailers take leftover paint, and city refuse customers can have used oil and filters picked up curbside by appointment.
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.

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?+
