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.

Electronic waste is collected at the city's monthly household hazardous waste collection at the Corporation Yard, and the blue can rules state plainly that computer monitors and television sets are never accepted in a curbside container.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Free at the city's monthly household hazardous waste collection, which names electronic waste among the accepted items and is open the third Saturday of each month from 8 a.m. until noon.
When & how
Third Saturday of each month from 8 a.m. until 12 p.m. at 555 N. Prospect Street. It is the only published electronic waste window in the city, and the recycling drop-off center takes blue can recyclables rather than e-waste.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data from computers, phones and tablets before the drop-off, keep the devices out of all three carts, and bring them during the monthly window. Household batteries and fluorescent lamps are collected at the same event.
One monthly window for hazardous and electronic waste
The household hazardous waste collection and the mattress recycling site both operate on the third Saturday of each month from 8 a.m. until noon at the Corporation Yard, 555 N. Prospect Street. Electronic waste, used motor oil and filters, antifreeze, automotive batteries, latex paints, household batteries and fluorescent lamps are taken at the event, and it is the only published drop-off window for them.
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.
Monthly household hazardous waste and electronic waste collection
A household with electronic waste, used motor oil and filters, antifreeze, automotive batteries, latex paint, household batteries or fluorescent lamps that the carts refuse.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Free at the city's monthly collection for residents, with the accepted list published on the city page and the information line at (559) 782-7514.
Arrange it
Bring the material to the Corporation Yard at 555 N. Prospect Street on the third Saturday of the month between 8 a.m. and noon.
One window a month only, at one address, and it is the only published route for electronic waste and the household chemicals on the list. Large appliances and furniture are not named at this event.
Self haul in Porterville means the two city drop-offs at the Corporation Yard on North Prospect Street. The recycling drop-off center there is open around the clock for residential recyclables that match the blue can programme, and it refuses commercial loads. On the third Saturday of each month between 8 a.m. and noon the same yard hosts the household hazardous waste collection, which takes electronic waste, used motor oil and filters, antifreeze, automotive batteries, latex paints, household batteries and fluorescent lamps, and alongside it the free mattress and box spring site run with the Mattress Recycling Council for Porterville and Tulare County residents. Nothing else has a published city drop-off: the carts refuse large appliances, furniture and construction debris, and the city publishes no curbside bulky pickup, so confirm the current option with the Refuse Division at 782-7513 or arrange a private hauler before moving a large item.

How much does electronics pickup cost in Porterville?+
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 Porterville?+
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 Porterville?+
To the city's household hazardous waste collection on the third Saturday of each month from 8 a.m. until noon at the Corporation Yard, 555 N. Prospect Street. Electronic waste is on the accepted list there, and the blue can rules say computer monitors and television sets are never accepted in curbside containers, so the monthly event is the published route.Official guidance
Can I put a television in the recycling cart?+
No. The city's blue can page lists computer monitors and television sets with the hazardous waste that is never accepted in curbside containers, along with batteries, fluorescent tubes, paint, solvents and used oil. Those items go to the monthly collection event instead.Official guidance

The city collects it. The Public Works Field Services Division runs the refuse routes and the recycling programmes, and the Refuse Division answers collection questions at 782-7513.
