You’ve moved on. Your old electronics haven’t.

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, monitors, computers, keyboards and printers are collected curbside by appointment, and all household electronics are also taken at the DPW Yard, where only 2 televisions per household per year are allowed.
City cost & eligibility
No electronics fee is published, so confirm the appointment and any charge with the city. The disposal guide gives (617) 376-7556 for a call by 3 p.m. at least 2 full business days before the regular trash day for a screen, and the recycling page routes scheduling to Capitol Waste Services at (855) 533-3400.
When & how
Book the curbside collection and put the device out on the regular trash day, or take it to the DPW Yard at 55 Sea Street during its published hours. The yard takes only 2 televisions per household per year.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data from computers, drives and phones before they leave the house, and keep devices out of the single stream recycling container. Needles and sharps never go in a device or a cart: the recycling page routes them to the Clean Harbors Sharps Management programme on (855) 633-9783, and household hazardous material waits for one of the city's two hazard days.
The DPW Yard behind 55 Sea Street is for Quincy residents only and opens Monday through Friday 7:30 AM to 3:00 PM and Saturday 7:30 AM to 2:30 PM within the 2026 season window that ends December 5, 2026. It accepts yard waste, single stream recycling, textiles, electronics, scrap metal, appliances, books, CDs, DVDs and mercury items, but it is not a landfill and refuses household trash, wood, tires, oil and gasoline, latex and oil paint, chemicals and construction debris. A valid Massachusetts driver's licence is required, and commercial plates are barred without prior written approval from the Commissioner's Office.
The city holds a household hazardous waste drop-off day twice a year at the DPW Yard, and the next scheduled date is still to be announced. The event is for Quincy residents only with a Massachusetts driver's licence showing a Quincy address, material stays in its original container with caps tightened, and chemicals are never mixed. Accepted material includes oil-based paint, fuels, poisons, pool chemicals, solvents, mercury items and Ni-Cad and lithium batteries, which are also taken year round at the yard. Tires, latex paint, asbestos, ammunition, prescription medicines and syringes are refused.
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.

Refrigerators and dishwashers are not accepted at the DPW Yard, and the yard takes only 2 televisions per household per year, so a second screen has to go through the curbside booking.
