Electronics are refused on both city routes and pushed to the county drop-off. The city bars electronic waste from the trash bins, and the extra pickup article lists televisions, computers and their accessories among the items that are not accepted, then sends them to the Saint Joseph County Household Hazardous Waste Center, where the drop-off is free for South Bend residents.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Electronics are not allowed in the trash bin or on an extra pickup. The city states that electronics are dropped off free at the Saint Joseph County Household Hazardous Waste Center at 828 Kerr Street for South Bend residents, reachable on 574.235.9971.
When & how
Take the devices to the Household Hazardous Waste Center at 828 Kerr Street. The city publishes the address, the free terms and the phone number but not the opening hours on the pages read, so call 574.235.9971 before the trip rather than assuming a window.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data from any computer, drive, phone or camera before handover. Keep electronics out of the trash bin, because only regular household trash may go in it, and keep them out of the yard waste bin, because recycling and household trash are both barred there. The refused list names televisions, DVD players, fax machines, cable boxes, portable players and navigation devices, e-readers, cameras, camcorders, digital photo frames, computers, monitors, printers, external hard drives, scanners, mice and keyboards.
Bagged household trash only, inside a city issued bin
Everything must be bagged and placed in a city issued 48 or 96 gallon bin with the lid closed and the opening facing the street. Bags on top of the bin, on the ground or in a private container are not collected, and only regular household trash belongs in the bin. Electronic waste, yard waste, loose debris, paints, chemicals and other hazardous material are all barred from it, and the bin goes within two feet of the curb by 6 a.m. and at least three feet from other bins and objects.
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.

A South Bend household with a television or computer, paint, solvents, batteries, bulbs, mercury items or up to six tires.
Cost & conditions

Arrange it
Drive the material to 828 Kerr Street.

The city publishes the address, the accepted list and the phone number at 574.235.9971 but not the opening hours on the pages read, so call first. Waste fuels and waste oils cannot arrive in 55-gallon drums, tires are limited to six per year per household, and the city's own collection routes refuse electronics and hazardous material outright.

Residents sign up when they start water service, and 311 handles scheduling and questions.Official guidance
