Updates through the handoff.

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.

Electronic waste is on the hauler's accepted bulky item list, so a television, monitor or computer leaves on a scheduled pickup inside the ten free items a month. Los Angeles County also takes household hazardous waste and electronic waste free at its collection events and permanent centers inside a trip limit of 15 gallons or 125 pounds.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. E-waste counts inside the ten free bulky items a month for residential customers and multi-family tenants, and the county program takes household electronic waste free from county residents within the per-trip limit.
When & how
Add the device to a scheduled pickup at (562) 334-3660, or take it to a county collection event, most of which run on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., or to a county permanent center.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data before the device leaves the house, list each electronic item when the pickup is scheduled, and pack anything bound for a county event in a cardboard box with the resident staying in the vehicle while staff unload.
Bulky material is only collected on a scheduled pickup, so the request goes to Universal Waste Systems by phone, email or the website with a list of the items. Once the collection date is confirmed, the items go on the sidewalk or parkway of the property rather than into the street, and the crew counts each piece against the monthly allowance.
The quarterly household hazardous waste pickup requires the material to be boxed and left on the porch rather than at the curb, and the hauler also supplies four mail-in sharps containers per account each year. Other households use the Los Angeles County collection events, where the material travels in cardboard boxes in the trunk and the resident stays in the vehicle while staff unload, inside a limit of 15 gallons or 125 pounds per trip.
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.
