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.

Electronic waste is inside the city's white goods definition, so computers, monitors, televisions and stereo equipment are collected on the same scheduled special pickup.
City cost & eligibility
Electronic waste is treated as a white good, so it carries the same additional per-occurrence fee that appears on the next water bill and is based on what is collected, and no amount is published. Book the pickup and confirm the fee with the Solid Waste Division at 770-532-0493.
When & how
Call 770-532-0493 in advance, because the white goods pickup runs only when equipment and personnel are available, and put the device out on the scheduled day rather than before the arrangement is made.
Get it ready
Keep televisions, monitors and computers out of the curbside pile and out of the recycling container, and never set them out before the pickup is booked, because that is a violation of city regulations. Do not put the device in a load bound for the compactor sites, which take only recyclables, textiles, motor oil and bagged garbage.
The city keeps garbage, curbside and white goods apart
Gainesville collects garbage once a week at the curb and picks up recycling the same day, and both streams use City of Gainesville issued receptacles requested on 770-532-0493. Household garbage and curbside material are never mixed, because garbage goes to a solid waste landfill while curbside material goes to a construction and demolition landfill and the two travel on different trucks. White goods are a third stream: regulated appliances and electronic waste that are scheduled in advance on the same number and only collected when equipment and personnel are available.
The city states that it follows Georgia Environmental Protection Division rules and cannot handle biomedical waste, blocks, bricks, car parts, construction and demolition debris, dirt, explosives, flammables, hazardous materials, liquids, rocks, stumps, tires or wet paint. Setting a white good or electronic item at the curb before the pickup is arranged is itself a violation of city regulations. Paint is the one refused material with a published route, through the Hall County Landfill paint recycling programme.
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.

Arrange it
Schedule in advance on 770-532-0493, then put the item out on the day the division gives you. The pickup only runs when equipment and personnel are available.
Advance scheduling is required and setting the items curbside before the arrangement is made is a violation of city regulations. The white goods list is closed and covers appliances and electronic waste rather than furniture, mattresses or construction material.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Electronics removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Gainesville.
How much does electronics pickup cost in Gainesville?+
A computer monitor is $79 as the first item and $19 as an additional item. Choose the actual devices and quantities to see your combined price online. 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 Gainesville?+
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 Gainesville televisions and computers go?+
On the city's scheduled white goods pickup. The white goods list names electronic waste such as computers, monitors, televisions and stereo equipment alongside the appliances, and the pickup has to be arranged in advance on 770-532-0493 because it is regulated waste handled separately from the normal stream. The per-occurrence fee is added to the next water bill and is based on what is collected, and setting the items out before the pickup is arranged breaks city regulations.Official guidance
What are white goods and how are they collected?+
White goods are appliances and electronic waste: air conditioners, clothes dryers, dishwashers, computers, monitors, televisions, stereo equipment, microwaves, refrigerators, stoves, trash compactors, washing machines and water heaters. They have to be scheduled in advance on 770-532-0493, an additional per-occurrence fee appears on the next water bill based on what is picked up, and the pickup runs only when equipment and personnel are available. Putting the items out before the arrangement is made violates city regulations.Official guidance
