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.

Televisions and other electronics count as bulky items on a clean-up day, and San Ramon also runs household hazardous waste routes for e-waste, including a free door-to-door collection service.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Up to two large bulky or electronic items of 60 to 200 pounds each are collected per set out at no additional charge on a scheduled clean-up day; the city's door-to-door household hazardous waste collection and the sanitary district facility in Martinez are free to San Ramon residents.
When & how
Put the screen out on the address's clean-up day by 5:30 a.m., book a door-to-door hazardous waste appointment at 1-800-433-5060, or take it to the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District facility at 4797 Imhoff Place in Martinez, open Monday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data from a computer before it leaves the house, keep electronics out of every cart, and note that household batteries go in a zipper-lock bag on top of the recycling cart with the 9-volt terminals taped, while automotive and liquid lithium ion batteries are not collected that way.
The bulky program runs on scheduled clean-up days, not on request
San Ramon does not book bulky pickups on demand. Every single-family address gets three neighborhood clean-up days a year, listed by address on the hauler's schedule, and each set out takes up to 3 cubic yards of material plus two large bulky items such as appliances, mattresses and furniture, with four car or light truck tires allowed if the rims are separated. Items go within 3 feet of the curb by 5:30 a.m. on the scheduled day and no more than 24 hours in advance, and two different vehicles collect what is put out. Volume beyond the limit and an extra clean-up outside the scheduled days are both charged separately.
Carts go to the curb by 5:30 a.m. on the weekly collection day, facing the street with the wheels against the curb and two to three feet of space between them, clear of parked cars, fire hydrants and low branches, and they come back out of public view after they are emptied. Overloading a cart is what causes litter and critter problems, so material is not wedged or compacted into it. Household batteries go in a zipper-lock bag on top of the recycling cart with the 9-volt terminals taped, and automotive or liquid lithium ion batteries are not collected that way.
Hazardous items never go in an ACI container or a clean-up pile. San Ramon residents can book a free door-to-door collection with Clean Harbors at 1-800-433-5060, which sends a containment kit and takes one type of material per bag, sealed and ready by 6 a.m. on the appointment day, with no container larger than five gallons. The other route is the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District facility at 4797 Imhoff Place in Martinez, free to San Ramon residents with no appointment and open Monday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m., where a visit is limited to 15 gallons or 125 pounds in containers no larger than five gallons. Leftover paint can also go back to many retailers through PaintCare.
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.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Electronics removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in San Ramon.
How much does electronics pickup cost in San Ramon?+
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 San Ramon?+
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 San Ramon?+
Three published routes. A television or computer counts as one of the two large bulky items allowed on a neighborhood clean-up day, the city's door-to-door household hazardous waste service collects electronic waste by appointment at 1-800-433-5060, and the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District facility at 4797 Imhoff Place in Martinez takes e-waste free from San Ramon residents with no appointment, open Monday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m.Official guidance
Who collects trash and bulky items in San Ramon?+
ACI of San Ramon is the franchised hauler for garbage, recyclables and organics and has run the city service since October 1, 2019. Cart service is billed quarterly by cart size, and bulky items are collected on the three neighborhood clean-up days each single-family address is scheduled for rather than by appointment. The hauler answers at 925-380-9480.Official guidance
How do I find my San Ramon clean-up day?+
San Ramon schedules three neighborhood clean-up days a year by address rather than taking bulky appointments. The dates are listed by address on the hauler's clean-up schedule, or a resident can call 925-380-9480. Items go within 3 feet of the curb by 5:30 a.m. on the scheduled day and no more than 24 hours in advance, with up to 3 cubic yards of material and two large bulky items.Official guidance
Where do paint, batteries and televisions go in San Ramon?+
