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.

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.

Televisions are named on the special load list alongside furniture and rugs, so a television takes the same booked, per load route. The city does not publish a matching list for smaller electronics such as computers, monitors or phones, and the drop off recycling center takes only newspaper, aluminum, steel cans and cardboard, so those items need a call to the department or to the county solid waste office before they are set out.
City cost & eligibility
$15 per pickup truck sized load on the special load service for a television, billed by the Owensboro Sanitation Department. City sanitation customers who call the department in advance and describe the load; televisions are named special load items, while smaller electronics have no published city route and have to be confirmed on the same call.
When & how
Call the Sanitation Department ahead and ask where the television or the small electronics should go, then set the item curbside on the scheduled day rather than on the cart day.
Get it ready
Keep screens whole and upright, wipe personal data from computers and phones, bag cables and remotes with the device they belong to, and keep electronics and televisions out of the trash cart and away from the recycling bins at the drop off center.
Trash goes out by 6 a.m. on the collection day inside the 96 gallon cart with the lid closed, four feet clear of cars, fences, trees and poles, and with the cart facing the street. Once the truck passes your block it does not come back, so a late set out waits a week. The special load crew works under the same curb rule for a different reason: the city does not allow it to drive into an alley or onto private property. Six holidays delay the rest of that week by one day, and yard waste comes on your trash day.
Special load collection is booked, not scheduled. Call the Sanitation Department with a description of what you are putting out so the office can price the load, and expect a delay, because the department runs this service with a single truck. The neighborhood cleanup days are the free alternative to watch for, but they are one day a year for each alliance, items go out the Friday night before, crews work from 6 a.m. to 11 a.m., and the crews will not return for a late set out.
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.
Owensboro Sanitation Department (City of Owensboro)
Book a special load pickup with the city
A household with old furniture, a television, a rug, an appliance, tires, or more household waste than the cart holds.
Cost & conditions
$15 per pickup truck sized load on the special load service, with the freon and per tire charges added where they apply, billed by the Owensboro Sanitation Department. City sanitation customers who call the department in advance and describe the load; the material must be set out curbside because the crew cannot enter an alley or private property.
Arrange it
Call the Sanitation Department at 270-687-8760 during office hours, describe the items so the office can estimate the load, and set everything out on the day it confirms.
One truck runs the whole special load route so delays are normal, construction and demolition material is not part of the residential service, and items the city never named on its list, such as mattresses and exercise machines, have to be confirmed on the same call.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Electronics removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Owensboro.
How much does electronics pickup cost in Owensboro?+
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 Owensboro?+
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.
What does Owensboro do with old televisions?+
Televisions are named on the city's special load list, so the Sanitation Department picks them up as a booked curbside load priced by the pickup truck sized load. Call the office first, because the department runs one truck on that route and cannot take items from an alley or from the property.Official guidance
Where do computers and small electronics go in Owensboro?+
Ask the Sanitation Department or the county solid waste office, because the city does not publish a route for smaller electronics and its drop off recycling center takes only newspaper, aluminum cans, steel cans and cardboard. Keeping computers, monitors and phones out of the trash cart and the recycling bins is the part that is certain.Official guidance
Who picks up trash in Owensboro?+
The City of Owensboro does, through its own Sanitation Department rather than a franchise hauler. The department serves about 22,000 homes, collects one 96 gallon cart a week and runs yard waste on the same day, and its commercial page states that city code requires exclusive collection of solid waste by the department.Official guidance
How do I arrange a bulky pickup in Owensboro?+
Call the Sanitation Department in advance and describe the load. The published special load route covers excess household solid waste, old furniture, televisions and rugs, appliances and tires, and it is priced by the pickup truck sized load, so anything outside that list, including a mattress or an exercise machine, has to be confirmed on the same call.Official guidance
Does a holiday change my collection day in Owensboro?+
Yes. When New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day or Christmas Day falls on a weekday, that day has no collection and the rest of the week slides one day later, which means a normal Friday route is collected on Saturday.Official guidance
