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.

Electronics never belong in the blue recycling cart or the trash. Lawrence points to its Recyclable Materials Directory for year-round drop-off sites, names Goodwill and Best Buy as local retail options, and runs a one-day collection most years with a contractor.
City cost & eligibility
The city's 2026 collection day charged $40 for each CRT television, CRT monitor or projection television and $10 for each LCD television or monitor, paid by cash, PayPal or Venmo only. Those were one-day event prices and a drop-off outlet or retailer sets its own charge, so confirm the current amount before you load.
When & how
Check the city page for the current collection date. Year-round, use the directory or a retailer and confirm its hours before you travel.
Get it ready
Erase personal data before a computer leaves your hands. Take household batteries out and use the Household Hazardous Waste facility for them, and keep the device out of the trash and the recycling cart.
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 household with computers and computer equipment that still have a take-back route rather than the city collection day.
Cost & conditions
A take-back program sets its own terms. The city links Dell Reconnect as accepting computers and computer equipment, with no Lawrence price published here, so confirm acceptance at the store before you load the car.
Arrange it
Check the Dell Reconnect drop-off list for a participating Goodwill store, then confirm the store's current hours and what it will take.
Computers and computer equipment only. Televisions and other electronics are not part of this route, so use the city directory or another receiver for those.
A household with a television, monitor or small device that a retail program will take before the next city collection day.
Cost & conditions
A retail program sets its own acceptance list and can charge for televisions and monitors. The city links Best Buy as offering electronics recycling for a range of devices, so confirm the device and any charge with the store before you travel.
Arrange it
Check the store's current recycling terms, then bring the device to the store during its posted hours.
Retail programs do not take every item, and the store decides what it accepts and what it charges. Confirm first so the device does not travel for nothing.

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.
Can a television go in the blue recycling cart?+
No. The city states that electronics should never be placed in recycling carts. Use the Recyclable Materials Directory or a retailer for year-round drop-off, or the city's own collection day, and confirm the device and any charge with the site you choose.Official guidance
Who do I call about an item the form does not list?+
Call the Solid Waste Division at 785-832-3032 or email solidwaste@lawrenceks.gov. The city's Recyclable Materials Directory lists local drop-off outlets for material that does not belong in the trash, in the recycling cart or on a bulky request.Official guidance
How do I get rid of paint, batteries or other household chemicals?+
The City of Lawrence and Douglas County Household Hazardous Waste facility at 2201 Kresge Road takes household hazardous waste from Douglas County households at no charge on an appointment-only basis, Tuesday to Thursday and on select Saturdays.
