Old computer, spare monitor, printer that’s ready to go, gone from the curb. Choose your electronics, see the exact price and book by 2pm for same-day pickup.
Keep the setup you use. Clear out the one you don’t.
The old setup can go
You’ve moved on. Your old electronics haven’t.
The new laptop is working. The old monitor, tower and printer are still taking up a corner. Give the equipment you no longer use a pickup day, with the price settled before anyone arrives.
An exact price for your actual items.
Choose each device and see the total online. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. No visit just to find out the price.
A day to get it done.
Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup, or choose a future date shown at checkout. Prepare your devices and have them outside before pickup.
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.

E-waste is refused on the curbside bulky list and in the carts, and it is free at the drop-off center, where the e-waste list covers televisions, computers and monitors, keyboards and printers, fax and copy machines, stereos, telephones and VCR or DVD players.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Watsonville residents and small businesses at the Waste and Recycling Drop-off Center, where e-waste is on the free list and household hazardous waste including electronic waste is accepted free. The state transport limit of 15 gallons of liquid or 125 pounds of solid material applies to hazardous material loads.
When & how
Take the items to 320 Harvest Drive, open Tuesday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., and cover the load with a tarp or pay the extra fee.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data before handover, keep televisions, monitors, computers and consoles out of all three carts and out of the bulky pickup order, and separate them from garbage so the load can be processed quickly. Batteries are accepted on the same free route.
Carts go out the night before and bulky items never go in a cart
Cart wheels should touch the curb with the handles facing the house, carts need three feet of clearance on all sides from signs, poles and cars, and they go out the night before because collection starts at 4:30 a.m. Garbage and recyclables are collected weekly and recycling runs every other week from the free 95 gallon blue cart. The city is explicit that bulky items do not belong in the carts and should go to the drop-off center instead.
The drop-off center is for city residents on a garbage account
The Waste and Recycling Drop-off Center is open to Watsonville residents living within the city limits, address verification is required, and users must have regularly scheduled city garbage collection. Loads have to be covered with a tarp or an extra fee applies, the combined vehicle and trailer length cannot exceed 30 feet, and the site asks users to separate garbage, clean wood, yard waste, tires, mattresses, electronic waste, metal, plastics, hazardous waste and recyclables before arriving so the load can be processed quickly.
Household hazardous waste is free with a transport limit
Household hazardous waste is accepted free at the drop-off center for Watsonville residents and small businesses, and state law limits what one trip may carry: 15 gallons of liquid or 125 pounds of solid material. Accepted material includes paint, batteries of every household sort, fluorescent tubes and compact bulbs, motor oil, oil filters, transmission fluid, brake fluid, antifreeze and electronic waste such as computers, monitors, phones and televisions, and containers should arrive sealed and unmixed.
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.
