Electronic waste has its own free pickup category that runs four times a year with unlimited items, and the same items can drop free at the county collection centers.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Electronic waste pickups run four times a year with unlimited items, including televisions, computers, monitors, video recorders, cell phones and speakers, and Orange County residents can also drop household hazardous waste and electronic waste free at the county collection centers.
When & how
Book the electronic waste pickup with CR&R at 877-728-0446 for the regular collection day, or take the items to a county collection center between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday.
Get it ready
Remove sensitive information from any computer, phone or drive before it leaves your hands, because the county states that no destruction of devices happens on site and it is not responsible for lost or misused data.
Every bulky pickup, including electronic waste and universal waste, is scheduled for the regular waste collection day, so the booking is only for a date you already have service. Book with CR&R at 877-728-0446 or through the hauler's online scheduling service, and keep the material inside eight feet in length, four feet in width and 150 pounds.
Batteries other than automobile batteries, thermostats, fluorescent tubes, cathode ray tubes such as televisions and monitors, high intensity and sodium vapor lamps, non-empty aerosol cans, mercury containing items, paint, solvents, pesticides, pool chemicals, sharps in a one-way container, fertilizer and used motor oil all go through the free door-to-door household hazardous waste pickup arranged with CR&R at 877-728-0446, or to the county collection center.
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.
