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 free at three Salinas Valley Recycles drop-off sites, and the fee schedule keeps computers, keyboards, printers, fax machines, phones, tablets and small kitchen appliances on the no charge list.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. No charge for electronic waste at Johnson Canyon Landfill, the Jolon Road Transfer Station or the Madison Lane Recycling Center, and no charge for computers and keyboards, cell phones and tablets, printers and fax machines or small kitchen appliances such as microwaves and toasters.

Get it ready
Wipe stored data where the device powers on, keep the cords and accessories with it, and keep electronics out of every curbside cart. Hazardous items such as batteries, bulbs and paint belong in the household hazardous waste stream instead.
Households in the service area drop hazardous items at the collection facility at 1104 Madison Lane at no charge and with no appointment, but the load may not exceed 15 gallons or 125 pounds per month. Bring chemicals in secure containers and do not mix them, and leave explosives, radioactive material, drums, medical waste other than sharps, and unstable chemicals at home. Antifreeze, batteries, motor oil and filters and latex paint have their own program with a five gallon limit.
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.
