The city accepts electronics at the Mark Lane transfer facility year round and names Take 2, Inc as a second year-round option, with an annual autumn drop-off event as well.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes the electronics routes and the transfer facility's fee list names only additional dump charges and the mattress charge, so confirm the electronics charge with the Bureau of Refuse at (203) 574-6857 before a large load. Small electronic appliances and televisions are both on the facility's accepted list.
When & how
Take the equipment to the Mark Lane transfer facility, 220 Mark Lane, 06704, open Tuesday through Saturday 7 am to 2:30 pm from March 1 to November 30 and Monday through Friday 7 am to 2:30 pm from December 1 through February, or watch for the annual autumn drop-off event.
Get it ready
Wipe stored data where the device powers on, keep cords and accessories with it, and keep electronics out of the curbside trash. Paint stays out of the load, because the facility refuses paint and points to PaintCare instead.
Paint, chemicals and other household hazardous material never go in a cart or a bulky load. The Naugatuck Valley Council of Governments runs three collections a year for fifteen towns including Waterbury, rain or shine, free to residents of participating municipalities, with proof of residency required. Containers are not returned, there is a 50 pound cap per resident unless arrangements are made in advance by email to hhw@nvcogct.gov before the Monday prior to the collection, and the next published event is September 26 from 9 am to 2 pm at Ansonia Public Works, 1 North Division Street in Ansonia.
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 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 Waterbury?+
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 Waterbury?+
To the Mark Lane transfer facility at 220 Mark Lane, which takes televisions, computers and peripherals, radios, cell phones and other small electronic appliances year round, or to Take 2, Inc, which the city also lists for year-round electronics.
