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 state law requires televisions, stereos and computer equipment to be recycled, and Normal states plainly that those items will not be picked up curbside with bulky waste. They go instead to the town's self-service electronics recycling site at 1301 Warriner Street.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Self-service electronics recycling at 1301 Warriner Street is free for McLean County residents, and it is not available to businesses or to residents outside McLean County.
When & how
The self-service site is open in summer from May 4 to Labor Day, Monday to Friday 6 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., and in winter from Labor Day to May 3, Monday to Friday 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., with the first Saturday of each month 8 a.m. to noon. The building is closed on Town holidays and leaving material outside posted hours is not allowed.
Get it ready
Drive past the main Public Works facility and follow the yellow signs to the electronics area, and bring help if the equipment is too heavy to handle alone because staff may not be available to unload. The site serves McLean County residents only and refuses material from businesses and from residents outside the county.
Bags of garbage stay in the Town cart, and landscape waste and brush go out in their own piles rather than in the bulky waste. Electronics are excluded by state law and go to the self-service drop-off on Warriner Street, and debris over 500 pounds or from contractor work needs a commercial container instead of a household pile.
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.
Town of Normal Public Works Department, Waste Removal Division

The self-service electronics recycling site at 1301 Warriner Street, past the main Public Works building and marked with yellow signs, takes televisions, computers, monitors, printers, scanners, receivers, video game consoles, phones and cables free from McLean County residents, and it refuses appliances, microwaves, dehumidifiers, alkaline batteries and light bulbs. Other household material has its own route: alkaline batteries go in the garbage cart or to a participating retailer, motor oil, antifreeze and used cooking oil go to Team Automotive on South Adelaide Street, compact fluorescent bulbs and tubes go to Echo Electric in Bloomington, and paint and household hazardous waste go through the Ecology Action Center and the PaintCare programme.
