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.

Large electronics such as televisions are named bulky waste items, and CHaRM takes televisions, monitors, cords, cell phones and small electronics.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Televisions and other large electronics are named bulky waste items collected by request within the four free pickups a year, and CHaRM accepts televisions, monitors, cords and cables, cell phones, tablets and gaming systems for its own facility fee plus any item fee.
When & how
Schedule a bulky pickup for a large television, or take smaller electronics to CHaRM at 1005 College Ave, which is open Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.
Get it ready
Keep batteries out of the recycling cart and the household trash, keep televisions and monitors off the curb unless a bulky pickup is scheduled, and keep cords and small devices separate from the bulky pile so they can be recycled.
Roll carts go out by 7:00 AM and come back the same day
Trash goes in the blue roll cart with a black lid and recycling goes in the green cart with a yellow lid, carts go to the street by 7:00 AM on collection day with handles facing the house and two feet from each other and from mailboxes and other obstructions, and carts come back from the curb at the end of the collection day. Trash has to be bagged and recyclables stay loose.
Bulky items go out the day before, with distance rules
Bulky items go between the curb and sidewalk no earlier than 24 hours before the collection date and by 7:00 AM of the pickup day, and they must not sit closer than fifty feet from an intersection or within ten feet of a fire hydrant, must not block mailboxes, driveways, sidewalks, drainage or utility access, and must not be placed under overhead wires. County vehicles do not enter private property to collect bulky items.
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.
