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.

A day to get it done.

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.

The city recycles computer towers, laptops and tablets as electronic waste and asks residents not to put them in the automated garbage container.
City cost & eligibility
The city schedules an electronic waste pickup by phone at 941-240-8050 but publishes no fee, so confirm whether the pickup is included in the residential service when you call Public Works. A county chemical collection centre also takes electronics such as computer systems and printers free from county residents.
When & how
Call Public Works Customer Service at 941-240-8050 to schedule the pickup, then set the items out for the collection day. The county chemical collection centres are an alternative for a self-haul trip.
Get it ready
Terminate any service, wipe the device and remove a SIM card before the pickup, and keep the device out of the automated garbage container. Rechargeable batteries go in a bag next to the recycling tote rather than inside a device.
Fluorescent bulbs, pesticides, pool chemicals, automotive products, paint and paint solvents, cleaning chemicals, sharps, unused medications, adhesives, fertilizers, fire extinguishers, smoke alarms, propane cylinders and tires stay out of the garbage and the recycling totes. The city runs two household hazardous waste collection events each year, in Spring and Fall at the Public Works facility on W. Price Blvd, and county residents can also use a chemical collection centre.
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.

Schedule an electronic waste pickup with Public Works
A household with a computer tower, laptop or tablet, which the city recycles as electronic waste rather than placing in the garbage tote.
Cost & conditions

Arrange it
Call Public Works Customer Service at 941-240-8050 to schedule the pickup, then set the items out for the collection day.
