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 cannot go in the trash or the recycling cart, and disposal is free for a City of Ventura resident with a Ventura address at Gold Coast Recycling.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Electronic equipment disposal is free for residential customers at Gold Coast Recycling, and the city states that a resident should bring identification and a Ventura address. Commercial businesses pay a fee for the same drop off, so a business load is quoted by the station.
When & how
Take the device to Gold Coast Recycling at 5275 Colt St. during the station's open hours, weekdays from 5 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday from 5 a.m. to 5 p.m. The station is closed Sunday.
Get it ready
Computers, monitors, televisions, printers, fax machines, cell phones, VCRs, DVD players, consoles, lamps and small kitchen appliances are all accepted, and the station's rule of thumb is that anything with a circuit board counts as electronic waste. Wipe or remove personal data before the device leaves your hands. A hazardous item that is not a device goes to the monthly household hazardous waste collection event instead.
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.

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

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 a television go out with the trash in Ventura?+
