Electronic waste is not allowed in a cart and goes to the city's household hazardous waste facility by appointment, to a retailer that collects it, or on a free large item collection when the piece is bulky.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. The city household hazardous waste facility takes electronics at no charge by appointment for a resident of Thousand Oaks or unincorporated Ventura County, Goodwill takes nearly all electronic waste at no charge, and a bulky television or copier goes out inside the two free collections a year. Tempus, formerly PC Recycle, charges for some items, including printers and microwaves and photocopiers, and Gold Coast Recycling in Ventura takes listed electronics from Ventura County residents but not from businesses.
When & how
Book an appointment at the household hazardous waste facility at 2010 Conejo Center Drive for a Friday or Saturday between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m., drop the device at a Goodwill that is open seven days a week from 9 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., or schedule a bulky item collection at 805-852-5264 for a large screen or copier.
Get it ready
Keep the device whole and out of every cart, because a state law prohibition applies and it is illegal to place e-waste in a container. Bring photo identification, a utility bill or another proof of residency to the hazardous waste facility. Wipe or remove personal data before the device leaves your hands, and note that Tempus refuses hard drives, console televisions, tube televisions and monitors larger than 32 inches, refrigerant containing electronics and appliances.
Furniture, mattresses, appliances and other large items are collected by request on one of the two free collections a calendar year, and the city asks residents not to put bulky items, electronics, construction debris or automotive parts in the carts. Request the collection from Athens first, then set the items out as directed.
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.
A household with a small appliance, a television, a computer, a phone or another electronic device that still works or at least can be plugged in.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Goodwill is a state authorized electronic waste collector and takes nearly all electronic waste at no charge, working or not, at three Thousand Oaks locations, and the city also names Goodwill as the place for small broken appliances such as a toaster oven, blender or vacuum.
Arrange it
Drop the item at 140 W. Hillcrest Dr. or 2060 Avenida de los Arboles in Thousand Oaks, or 1560 Newbury Rd. in Newbury Park. Donations are accepted seven days a week from 9 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.
Goodwill refuses hard wired electrical items, batteries, light bulbs and large appliances such as refrigerators and washing machines, so a large appliance has to go out on a free large item collection instead.

How much does electronics pickup cost in Thousand Oaks?+
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 Thousand Oaks?+
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 can I take a television or computer in Thousand Oaks?+
The city household hazardous waste facility at 2010 Conejo Center Drive accepts electronics by appointment on Fridays and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Three Goodwill stores in town take nearly all electronic waste seven days a week from 9 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., and Tempus in Newbury Park takes devices on weekdays and charges for some items such as printers, microwaves and photocopiers.Official guidance
Can electronics go in the trash cart?+
No. The hauler lists electronic waste among the items that must not go in a container, and the city states that broken or unwanted electronics should not be discarded in trash or recycling bins because they need special handling. A bulky television, projection television or large freestanding copier can be scheduled on a free large item collection instead.Official guidance
Who handles trash and recycling collection in Thousand Oaks?+
Athens Services collects residential and commercial trash, recycling and organics under a franchise agreement with the city, and the rates are set by City Council. Athens customer care is at 805-852-5264, Monday through Friday 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday 7 a.m. to noon, and the city Sustainability Division is at 805-449-7283 or gogreen@toaks.org.Official guidance
Does a holiday change my collection day?+
Yes. Holidays create a one day delay in collection. Athens observes New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas Day, and a holiday that falls on a Saturday or Sunday does not delay service.Official guidance
What happens at the household hazardous waste facility?+
The city facility at 2010 Conejo Center Drive in Newbury Park takes paint, solvents, pesticides, pool chemicals, batteries, used oil, antifreeze, propane cylinders, fluorescent bulbs and electronics from residents of Thousand Oaks and unincorporated Ventura County on Fridays and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. An appointment is required, online registration closes at 5 p.m. the day before, a load is limited to 15 gallons or 125 pounds, and Clean Harbors schedules appointments at 800-356-8570.Official guidance

Do apartments and complexes with shared bins get the same service?+
Multi family dwellings with individual carts are covered by the single family rate sheet and by the same two collections and six item large item allowance, but a complex with centralized bin service is billed under a separate multi family and mixed use rate schedule. Call Athens at 805-852-5264 to confirm what a shared bin property receives before setting anything out.Official guidance
