The old setup can go
You’ve moved on. Your old electronics haven’t.

A day to get it done.

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 refused in the curbside clean-up week and at the city's multi-family collection day, and it is handled as household hazardous waste at the Marin Household Hazardous Waste Facility on Jacoby Street.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Free household hazardous waste disposal for Marin County residents at the Jacoby Street facility, with proof of residency and a limit of 15 gallons or 125 pounds per trip.
When & how
Take the device to 565 Jacoby Street in San Rafael during residential hours, Tuesday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., closed Sunday and Monday and on the listed holidays.
Get it ready
Keep electronics out of every cart and out of the clean-up pile, pack materials in boxes lined with newspaper rather than garbage bags, keep products in their original containers, and do not mix materials. Bring proof of Marin County residency such as a photo identification, a recent tax document or a utility bill.
The twice yearly clean-up week takes bags, not bulky items
Curbside clean-ups run twice a year and the week depends on the town and the billing cycle printed on the bill. During that week up to 14 bags, about two cubic yards, of garbage, recycling and compostables go out at no extra cost on the normal service day, with bags or cans capped at 60 pounds and 32 gallons, yard waste in paper bags and no plastic, and extra recycling in a container or small cardboard box. Mattresses, appliances, furniture, hazardous waste, electronics, batteries, light bulbs, paint, dirt, rock and construction material are all refused.
One trip to the Marin Household Hazardous Waste Facility may carry 15 gallons of liquid or 125 pounds combined liquid and dry weight, with latex paint and motor oil allowed up to a combined 20 gallons, and no container larger than five gallons or heavier than 50 pounds. Keep products in original containers, pack them in boxes lined with newspaper rather than garbage bags, do not mix materials, and bring proof of Marin County residency such as a photo identification, a recent tax document or a utility bill.
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.
