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.

A house, a condo or an apartment. Choose an accessible outdoor spot that works for your property. You arrange the move outside; we take it from there.

Separate what stays from what goes.
Unplug the equipment and count the devices in your booking. Set aside any accessories you are keeping. Group the items being collected so the right equipment is easy to identify.

Arrange the outdoor handoff.
Follow the readiness instructions in your confirmation. Add a location photo and access notes. You arrange any carrying from inside your home or building; we load and take away the prepared items outside.
You’re in the loop. Until it’s gone.
Confirmation when you book. A heads-up before arrival. Photos when it’s done.
Electronic waste and batteries are refused on the bulk item list and in the recycling cart, and no readable city page publishes the e-waste drop-off the city page title promises.
City cost & eligibility
The bulk flyer refuses electronic waste and batteries, and the city page titled Bulk Item, E-Waste and Hazardous Waste Info publishes no readable body, so confirm the drop-off and any charge with Republic Services at 618.656.6883 or the city Public Works office at 618.463.3530.
When & how
Call to confirm the drop-off before the device goes outside, because electronics are refused on both the bulk pickup and the recycling cart as published.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data before handover, keep electronics out of the trash and recycling carts, and take the batteries out so they are not sent with a device that may be refused.
The bulk flyer refuses appliances, electronic waste and batteries, concrete and construction material, fluorescent light bulbs, tires, yard waste, loose trash or trash in boxes, and lead or oil based paint and varnish. The recycling flyer refuses electronics and batteries, construction waste, yard waste, scrap metal, medical waste and other listed materials in the recycling cart. Confirm a route for any of those with the hauler or the city rather than leaving them at the curb.
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.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Electronics removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Alton.
How much does electronics pickup cost in Alton?+
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 Alton?+
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 Alton televisions and computers go?+
Electronic waste is on the bulk flyer's unacceptable list and on the recycling flyer's never list, and the city page with e-waste in its title renders no readable content, so the drop-off has to be confirmed. Call Republic Services at 618.656.6883 or the city Public Works office at 618.463.3530, keep the device out of both carts, and take the batteries out first.Official guidance
