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 are not part of the curbside rules, and the city points to two named recyclers instead: the Capital Area Corporate Recycling Council, which takes computers, phones, networking gear and LCD monitors only and charges for televisions, copiers and printers, and Atlas Electronics Recycling, which the city says offers free residential pickup.
City cost & eligibility
The pricing differs by route and by item. CACRC publishes a 10 dollar fee for a small printer and 25 dollars for a large printer, and states that fees apply to copiers and televisions, while the city describes Atlas Electronics Recycling as offering free residential pickup. Confirm the item and the price with CACRC on (225) 379-3577 or Atlas on (225) 800-2750 before handing anything over.
When & how
Take accepted electronics to CACRC at 1400 Main Street, open Monday to Friday 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., or book a residential pickup with Atlas. The city's semi-annual household hazardous material days also take batteries and cell phones.
Get it ready
Wipe data before handover, keep household batteries out of the electronics because CACRC refuses them, keep CRTs out because CACRC does not take them, and count a television separately because it is one of the items CACRC charges for.
Hazardous waste, electronics and paint have their own routes
Household hazardous waste is barred from the carts and from the curb, and the city answers it with several published routes rather than one. It holds semi-annual spring and fall household hazardous material collection days, with business waste refused and the Fall 2026 date and location still to be announced. Electronics go to the Capital Area Corporate Recycling Council at 1400 Main Street, which takes computers, phones, networking gear and LCD monitors only, charges for televisions, copiers and printers and refuses CRTs, or to Atlas Electronics Recycling, which the city says offers free residential pickup. Batteries and cell phones can go to a Call2Recycle drop-off or to a collection day. Paint is split by condition: empty or dried latex cans go in the trash, a can less than half full is opened and mixed with kitty litter to dry, cans more than half full wait for a collection day or go to a Habitat ReStore, which accepts full or partially full cans of latex paint or stain and full cans of oil paint year round. Recyclables can also be dropped at the Materials Recovery Facility on 7923 Tom Drive, which is open to the public around the clock and does not require sorting.
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.

Can you pick up old electronics today in Baton Rouge?+
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.

To the Capital Area Corporate Recycling Council at 1400 Main Street, or to Atlas Electronics Recycling, which the city says offers free residential pickup. CACRC takes computers, laptops, tablets, phones, networking equipment, circuit boards and LCD monitors only, publishes a 10 dollar fee for small printers and 25 dollars for large ones, and states that fees apply to copiers and televisions.
