The old setup can go
You’ve moved on. Your old electronics haven’t.

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 refused in the blue recycling cart, and the city's flyer sends them to the DPW Yard at 356 Commercial Street for electronic waste recycling. The published fee list prices cathode ray tubes, which the city describes as including televisions and computer monitors, and the yard accepts hazardous items only on the seasonal collection days it schedules.
City cost & eligibility
$25 per cathode ray tube at the DPW Yard, which the city's fee list describes as including televisions and computer monitors, payable in cash on a collection day. Malden residents at the DPW Yard on a designated household hazardous waste collection day. The city page showed no upcoming collection day when this was checked, and other electronic waste is listed without a published rate.
When & how

Get it ready
Keep televisions, monitors and other electronics out of the blue recycling cart, bring cash because the yard accepts no other payment for these days, and ask about the rate for a flat panel set, because the published line prices cathode ray tubes while other electronic waste carries no listed price.
