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.

Illinois bans televisions, computer monitors and cellphones from landfills, and Hoffman Estates offers three ways to keep them out: a curbside pickup, a seasonal drop-off at Village Hall, and a weekly collection run by the county solid waste agency. Groot takes two electronic items a week at no cost with a pre-arranged curbside collection, and the seasonal Village Hall drop-off is free for residents of the agency's communities.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Groot collects two electronic items per week at no cost when the pickup is pre-arranged at least 24 hours ahead, and the seasonal Village Hall drop-off and the weekly county collection are free for residents of SWANCC communities with proof of residency. The exception is a tube television weighing more than 50 pounds, which carries a $50 charge on the Groot pickup.
When & how
Call Groot at 847-734-6400 or 800.244.1977 at least 24 hours ahead for the curbside electronics pickup. The seasonal drop-off at Village Hall, 1900 Hassell Road, runs on Mondays from 10 a.m. to noon on its 2026 dates from April 6 through November 16, and the county collection at the Glenview Transfer Station, 3 Providence Way in Des Plaines, runs on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. year round.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data from any computer, laptop, tablet or phone before handover, and tape the terminals of rechargeable and lithium-ion batteries because that is required before they go in a collection bin. Keep electronic items out of the recycling toter, and check the seasonal accepted list before loading, because calculators, cameras, microwaves, power tools, shredders, small home appliances, stereo equipment and typewriters are not taken at that site. Small electronics, ink and toner cartridges, bulbs, mercury thermometers and thermostats go to the year-round lobby drop-off at Village Hall from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Monday north of the tollway, Wednesday south of it
The village splits collection by the Jane Addams Memorial Tollway. Residences north of it are serviced on Mondays, and residences south of it, including those west of Bartlett Road, are serviced on Wednesdays. Because routes can vary weekly and holidays shift the schedule, the village publishes the service area map and delays collection by one day for the remainder of a holiday week.
Schedule the special pickups with Groot before the item goes out
Three special services have to be arranged in advance. Appliance or white goods pickup is scheduled with Groot and runs on Wednesdays at no additional charge. An oversized pickup for a large item or a load over one cubic yard is scheduled with Groot for an estimate and billed by the cubic yard. Electronics pickups are scheduled at least 24 hours ahead, and Groot takes two items a week at no cost. Nothing is left at the curb before the pickup is arranged.
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 the appliance, electronics and oversized pickups with Groot
A residence with an appliance, two electronic items, a couch, an exercise machine or a load over one cubic yard.
Cost & conditions
Appliance pickup is published at no additional charge when scheduled in advance and runs on Wednesdays, and two electronic items a week are collected at no cost when the pickup is arranged at least 24 hours ahead. The oversized pickup for a large item or a load over one cubic yard is priced by Groot as an estimate and billed by the cubic yard, so confirm the piece and the price at 847-734-6400.
Arrange it
Call Groot at 847-734-6400, and for electronics the line is 800.244.1977. Schedule appliance pickup in advance for the Wednesday run, schedule the electronics pickup at least 24 hours ahead, and arrange the oversized pickup before the load goes out.
Every special pickup has to be arranged before the item is set at the curb, and the oversized rate depends on the cubic yardage of the load rather than a flat item price. A tube television weighing more than 50 pounds carries a charge on the electronics pickup rather than the two free item allowance.
