You’ve moved on. Your old electronics haven’t.

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.

Televisions, computers, monitors and other electronics
Special rules apply
Electronic waste does not go in a cart at South San Francisco. The hauler's item table shows two routes: a curbside appointment for computer monitors and electronic items, with fees that may apply, and drop off at Blue Line Transfer, where a monitor that is not cracked or broken carries no added charge while other electronic items carry fees. Cleaning fluids, fertilizers, pesticides and pool chemicals are refused at both and go to the county instead.
City cost & eligibility
The hauler's table says fees may apply to electronic items on both the curbside appointment and at Blue Line Transfer, and a monitor that is not cracked or broken carries no added charge at Blue Line, so confirm the item and any fee with the hauler at (650) 589-4020 before it is set out or delivered.
When & how
Call (650) 589-4020 to schedule a curbside electronic waste appointment, or take the device to Blue Line Transfer at 500 East Jamie Court during the department hours.
Get it ready
Keep electronics out of all three carts, keep screens whole and unwrapped from other loads, and wipe personal data before handover.
Household batteries go in a clear zip top bag sealed and placed on top of the lid of the gray garbage cart, with lithium and nine volt ends taped, and cell phones go the same way wrapped in paper. Motor oil goes out in a sealed plastic jug of five quarts or smaller with a five container limit, and oil filters go in a clear zipper lock bag alongside the recycling cart.
Blue Line Transfer takes public loads without an appointment, weighs each vehicle in and out on certified scales, and directs the load to the right area, with separate departments for construction and demolition sorting, for batteries, oil, paint and antifreeze, and for CRV buyback. The site publishes separate hours for those departments, so confirm the hours for the department you need before driving out.
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.

Can you pick up old electronics today in South San Francisco?+
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.

Not in a cart.
