Keep the setup you use. Clear out the one you don’t.
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.
Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup, or choose a future date shown at checkout. Prepare your devices and have them outside before pickup.
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.

Corded devices and electronics may not go in the trash or recycling carts, so a television or computer leaves on a bulky collection or at a free drop-off instead.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Electronics can ride one of the ten free bulky item collections a household gets between July 1 and June 30, the city states they can be dropped off free at NASA Services, and the Los Angeles County household hazardous and electronic waste program is free to county residents.
When & how
Book the bulky collection with NASA Services at 888-888-0388 at least 24 hours ahead, ask about the free drop-off, or check the Los Angeles County program for the next collection event. The city lists the county events and notes that the dates rotate.
Get it ready
Keep electronics out of both the trash and recycling carts, because the city states they may not be placed in either. Wipe or factory reset anything that stores personal data before it leaves the house, and keep batteries with the household hazardous waste routes rather than on a bulky pile.
An on-call collection has to be booked with NASA Services at 888-888-0388 at least 24 hours before the next regular collection day, and the items have to be curbside no later than 6 a.m. on collection day. Leaving a pile at the curb without a scheduled collection is treated as illegal dumping and can bring a fine.
The free allowance is ten on-call bulky collections between July 1 and June 30, with up to four items in each collection, and a fee applies once the allowance is used. Heavy items do not qualify at all, because everything on the pile has to be movable by a two-man crew.
Cords, heavy metal and debris stay out of the carts
The trash cart refuses hot ashes, dirt, rocks, concrete, construction and demolition debris, heavy metal items such as auto parts, anything with a cord and household hazardous waste. Electronics belong on a bulky collection or at a free drop-off, and construction material belongs in a permitted temporary bin.
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.
City of Pico Rivera Office of Sustainability and NASA Services
Book a free on-call bulky collection
A Pico Rivera household with furniture, a mattress, an appliance, electronics, clothing or yard waste that will not fit in the carts.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Ten on-call bulky item collections a year are free between July 1 and June 30, with up to four items in each collection. Multifamily complexes are allocated one collection for each unit each year.
Arrange it
Call NASA Services at 888-888-0388 at least 24 hours before the next regular collection day, then put the items at the curb no later than 6 a.m. on collection day.
Hazardous waste, construction debris, equipment or vehicles and tires are refused, every item has to be movable by a two-man crew, and an unscheduled pile at the curb is treated as illegal dumping.

Use the annual bulky item collection week
A household with more acceptable material than one four item collection covers, or one that would rather not book an appointment.
Cost & conditions
No charge. The spring collection week is a citywide event with no per item charge, and residents may place an unlimited amount of acceptable items at the curb on the regular collection day.
Arrange it
Watch for the city's announcement of the week each spring and set the acceptable items out on the regular collection day, with the same accepted and refused lists that apply to an on-call collection.
The event runs once a year, so a household that misses it waits for the next spring, and the refused list still applies, including hazardous waste, construction debris, equipment or vehicles and tires.
City of Pico Rivera Office of Sustainability and NASA Services
Pay for a bulky collection beyond the free allowance
A household that has used the ten free collections for the year and still has acceptable items to clear.
Cost & conditions
From $50.23 each bulky item pickup beyond the ten free collections a year for a residential cart customer. The hauler's rate sheet states rates effective July 1, 2025 for the period July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026 and lists the charge for an additional bulky item pickup beyond the ten free ones, with a separate commercial first item and each additional item schedule. Because that window has closed, confirm the current amount with NASA Services at 888-888-0388 when the collection is booked.
Arrange it
Call NASA Services at 888-888-0388 to book the collection and confirm the charge, then put the items out no later than 6 a.m. on collection day.
The charge is set by the hauler's published rate sheet rather than by this guide, and the same refused list applies, so a collection will not take hazardous waste, construction debris, equipment, vehicles or tires.

Use the Los Angeles County collection program
A household with paint, solvents, cleaners, pesticides, pool chemicals, batteries, oil, bulbs or electronics that cannot go in the carts.
Cost & conditions
No charge. The Los Angeles County household hazardous and electronic waste collection program is free and runs rotating events and permanent centers. The city also lists free retail take-back counters and a free yearly sharps collection through NASA Services.
Arrange it
Check the county program for the next collection event or a permanent center. Published events near Pico Rivera include the City of Lynwood event on October 3 and the City of Artesia event on October 10, both from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The dates rotate, the sites are county events rather than a Pico Rivera facility, and solar panels are not accepted at any event or permanent center.
Plastic plant materials, nickel-zinc, nickel-metal hydride, nickel-cadmium and lithium-ion batteries, non-automotive lead-acid batteries, CFLs, cell phones and plastic bags.
This is a retail take-back counter for the listed material only. Automotive lead-acid batteries, paint, solvents, pool chemicals and other household hazardous waste are not on the list and belong with the Los Angeles County collection program. Confirm the take-back terms at the counter before the trip.
Store hours are not published on the city flyer, so call (562) 942-9909 before the trip.
The city flyer lists the store as a take-back counter for the listed batteries, CFLs, cell phones, plastic bags and plastic plant materials without publishing a charge, so confirm the current terms and any limit at (562) 942-9909 before loading the car.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Electronics removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Pico Rivera.
How much does electronics pickup cost in Pico Rivera?+
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 Pico Rivera?+
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.
Can electronics go in the trash or recycling cart?+
No. The city states that electronics and corded devices may not be placed in the trash or recycling containers and lists televisions, monitors and computer components, VCR and DVD players, small kitchen appliances, lamps, cords, wires and power tools, phones, car batteries and electric scooters. They can be picked up with bulky items or dropped off free at NASA Services.Official guidance
Where can I take electronics to a county event?+
The Los Angeles County household hazardous and electronic waste program is free and runs rotating collection events and permanent centers. The county's published events near Pico Rivera include the City of Lynwood event on October 3 and the City of Artesia event on October 10, both from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., and the county notes that solar panels are not accepted at any event or center.Official guidance
Who collects trash in Pico Rivera?+
NASA Services is the city's franchise waste hauler and handles residential and commercial waste, recyclables, green waste and construction and demolition debris, while the city's Office of Sustainability oversees the service. NASA customer service is 888-888-0388, and the city's utility and waste questions go through City Hall at 6615 Passons Blvd.Official guidance
How is the Pico Rivera trash rate set?+
The hauler publishes a rate sheet for the city that lists the monthly cart service charge, additional cart charges, overage and extra pickup charges, the charge for a bulky pickup beyond the free collections, and the commercial and roll-off schedules. The sheet posted for Pico Rivera states rates effective July 1, 2025 for the period ending June 30, 2026, so confirm the current amount on the account with NASA Services at 888-888-0388.Official guidance
Do apartments get the same bulky service?+
Multifamily complexes are allocated one bulky item collection for each unit each year rather than the ten collections a single-family household gets. A resident in an apartment should ask the property manager or NASA Services at 888-888-0388 who places the request for the property.Official guidance
Where do tires go?+
Pick-up truck and automobile tires are on the refused list for bulky collections, so they cannot go out with a pile and cannot go in a cart. The city links the Los Angeles County tire recycling route from its waste services page, and a tire retailer is the other common route for a household set of tires.Official guidance
How does yard waste go out?+
Yard trimmings, leaves, grass and small branches go in the green cart, and any additional bags or bundles of green waste are collected as a bulky item rather than in a full cart. During January, Christmas trees are collected every week on the regular collection day, cut in half if over seven feet tall, with tinsel and ornaments removed.Official guidance
Is there a special collection for horse manure?+
Yes. NASA Services offers a special collection and recycling of horse manure and bedding, and the material is composted with a local facility rather than landfilled. Bin sizes and prices come from NASA Services at 888-888-0388.Official guidance
