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.

City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no electronics entry for the curbside programme, the landfill categories or the hazardous waste day list, so confirm the item and any charge with 311 at (706) 653-4000 or the Recycling and Sustainability Center at (706) 225-4505 before the device is set out.
When & how
Call 311 at (706) 653-4000 or the Recycling and Sustainability Center at (706) 225-4505 to confirm where a television or computer is accepted, then bring it there rather than setting it out.
Get it ready
Keep electronics out of the city cart and away from a mixed pile, and remove batteries so they can go to the household hazardous waste route, where rechargeable batteries are on the accepted list.
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.
