Old computer, spare monitor, printer that’s ready to go, gone from the curb. Choose your electronics, see the exact price and book by 2pm for same-day pickup.
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.

An electronic is one of the three items the annual bulky allowance can collect, and the Delta household hazardous waste facility also takes electronic waste free, with a list that runs from televisions and monitors to printers, microwaves and stereo equipment. Large appliances are excluded from the hazardous waste route.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. One electronic a calendar year through the bulky item allowance for a household with regular paid garbage service, and free electronic waste drop off for Pittsburg residents with proof of residency at the Delta facility, within its 15 gallon or 125 pound per trip limit.
When & how
Book the bulky pickup with Mt. Diablo Resource Recovery at (925) 682-9113, or take the device to the Delta household hazardous waste facility on the Pittsburg-Antioch Highway on a Thursday, Friday or Saturday between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m.
Get it ready
Wipe or reset anything that stores personal data, keep the device out of the carts, and note that the Delta facility refuses large appliances such as refrigerators and washing machines.
Garbage, recycling and organics are collected weekly, and carts have to be at the curb by 5 a.m. on the service day with the contents below the rim and the lid properly closed. Garbage carts are the 64 or 96 gallon brown or black cart, recycling goes in the blue 64 gallon cart, and organics go in the 96 gallon green cart.
One big item a year, or a bagged load twice a year
The bulky allowance takes a single item, under 200 pounds, and it may be an appliance, a large piece of furniture or an electronic. The on-call allowance instead takes up to twelve 32 gallon bags of household garbage or yard waste at 50 pounds or less a bag, with branches bundled no larger than 18 inches by 3 feet, twice a calendar year and at least a week apart. Neither route takes construction material, and the bag route also refuses furniture, carpets, appliances and e-waste.
Batteries, bulbs and chemicals follow their own routes
Household batteries and compact fluorescent bulbs are collected at the curb when scheduled in advance and placed in a labelled clear bag beside the brown garbage cart, and automobile batteries are not taken that way. Used motor oil goes out through the free kit the hauler provides, or to the Delta facility, and every other chemical, including paint, solvents, pesticides, pool chemicals, sharps and propane tanks, goes to the Delta household hazardous waste facility rather than any cart or curbside pile.
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.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Electronics removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Pittsburg.
How much does electronics pickup cost in Pittsburg?+
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 Pittsburg?+
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 do televisions and computers go in Pittsburg?+
Two published routes: an electronic can be the single item on the annual bulky allowance booked at (925) 682-9113, or the device can be dropped free at the Delta household hazardous waste facility on the Pittsburg-Antioch Highway, which is open Thursday to Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and takes televisions, monitors, computers, printers, microwaves and similar devices, but not large appliances.Official guidance
Who collects trash in Pittsburg?+
Mt. Diablo Resource Recovery collects organics, recyclables and garbage weekly under the city's franchise, and it also runs the bulky, on-call, scrap metal, battery, bulb and oil programs. Customer service is (925) 682-9113, the hauler office is at 555 California Avenue, and the city publishes the franchise agreement and the solid waste sections of the municipal code.Official guidance
Can batteries and light bulbs go out at the curb?+
Household batteries and compact fluorescent bulbs are collected at the curb when the resident calls (925) 682-9113 first and places them in a labelled bag or closed container beside the brown garbage cart. Automobile batteries are not collected that way, and fluorescent tubes, paint and chemicals belong at the Delta household hazardous waste facility.Official guidance
