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.

Televisions and computer monitors are priced on the city bulk item list, so Lawrence treats a screen as a collection item with a published rate instead of turning it away. A copy machine also appears on the same list, and the annual hazardous waste day is the second route for electronics.
City cost & eligibility
$40 per television or computer monitor on the city bulk item list, which also prices a copy machine at $25. Lawrence residential buildings with six or fewer housing units on the contracted curbside route, scheduled with Capitol Waste Services on 1-844-377-1718; the annual hazardous waste day also takes laptops, monitors, televisions, computer towers, printers, fax machines, scanners and stereos at its own published fees.
When & how
Schedule with Capitol Waste Services on 1-844-377-1718 or online for collection on the address's trash and recycling day, or hold the device for the hazardous waste day at the Department of Public Works yard on the second and fourth Saturday from May to October.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data from any computer, laptop, tablet or phone before handover. Keep electronics out of the 65-gallon container, out of the recycling bin and off the bulk pile until the pickup is scheduled, because bulky items are excluded from the single stream recycling bin.
Bulk items ride the same day as trash and recycling, but only by appointment
Bulk items such as furniture and mattresses are collected on the same day as the trash and recycling pickup for the address, and scheduling runs through Capitol Waste Services on 1-844-377-1718 or the online booking page. The city's agreement with the hauler makes a number of smaller items free, limited to one per household per week, and prices everything else on the published list, with each additional item priced as well.
The city runs in five sections, so the pickup day depends on the address
Lawrence divides the city into five sections and services each on a different day of the week, so the collection day is a section day rather than one citywide day. The same section day carries the bulk item collection, which is why a scheduled large item and the ordinary bags land on one morning rather than two. Pickup times are not published, so the material has to be out before the round reaches the street.
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.
City of Lawrence Department of Public Works with Capitol Waste Services
Book a priced bulk item pickup with the city hauler
A household inside the curbside service area with a couch, an appliance, a television, an exercise machine, a small remodel load or a stack of clutter.
Cost & conditions
From $25 for the standard per item price on the city bulk item list, which runs from $25 for most items through $35 for a sleeper sofa, stove, washer, dryer, dishwasher or water heater and $40 for a refrigerator, freezer, television or computer monitor to $45 for an air conditioner, dehumidifier or truck tire, with construction material at $50 per yard and a free category of smaller items limited to one per household per week. Lawrence residential buildings with six or fewer housing units on the contracted curbside route, scheduled with Capitol Waste Services on 1-844-377-1718 or through the online booking page.
Arrange it
Call Capitol Waste Services on 1-844-377-1718 or book the pickup online, and the collection lands on the same day as the trash and recycling day for the address. Check the price for each piece on the bulk item list before the pickup, because the total is built item by item.
The service reaches residential buildings with six or fewer units, so businesses, mixed-use properties and buildings with seven or more units arrange private pickup. The free category is limited to one item per household per week, each additional item is priced at $25, and bulky items cannot go in the single stream recycling bin.

Use the hazardous waste recycling day at the Department of Public Works yard
A Lawrence household with paint, chemicals, bulbs, batteries, propane tanks, electronics, oil or antifreeze that cannot go in the trash.
Cost & conditions
The city publishes the programme and the card only payment rule but no fee schedule on the page body, so confirm the item and any charge for it before loading. Payment must be made by debit or credit card only.
Arrange it
Take the material to the Department of Public Works yard at 1 Auburn Street between 8 a.m. and 12 p.m. on the second or fourth Saturday of the month, from May to October only. Unscheduled visits outside those hours are prohibited, and proof of residency is required.
The programme is closed to businesses, and each person taking part needs proof of residency. Latex paint is refused and has to be dried out and put in the regular trash instead.
