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.

Batteries, electronics and televisions do not belong in the curbside recycling cart. They go to the drop-off center by appointment, where televisions are charged per unit and loose electronic waste is charged by the container.
City cost & eligibility
From $10 per flat screen television at the Bay City Recycles Drop-Off Center, where a cathode ray tube television costs more and loose electronic waste is charged per 18 gallon bin. City resident pricing requires identification proving residency and is limited to owner-occupied properties with homeowner generated, non-contractor material. Appointments are required, and any zip code may use the center at non-resident rates.
When & how
Drop-off only, by appointment booked through the ReDirectory or by phone. Curbside recycling runs every other week on the same weekday as trash and does not take batteries, electronics, scrap metal or bulky items.
Get it ready
Bring a container for loose electronic waste because that material is charged per 18 gallon bin. Household batteries are accepted separately and must be sorted and prepared before you arrive, and lithium batteries are not accepted.
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.
Households with items the curb will not take, including appliances, electronics, tires, scrap metal, building material, extra furniture or a larger load of refuse.
Cost & conditions
From $2 per small bag of 13 gallons or less at the lowest published refuse rate, with item rates published for furniture, appliances, televisions, tires, batteries, paint and building material. Appointments are required, and city rates need identification proving residency when you arrive. Any zip code may use the center at non-resident rates.
Arrange it
Book through the Drop-Off tab of the ReDirectory at baycityrecycles.org or call 989-894-8312, then bring the load to 2900 N Water Street with exact change and identification. The city asks that you arrive ready to unload your own items.
Staff do not unload for you, so bring help for anything heavy or bulky. Tire and cathode ray tube television acceptance depends on storage or end markets being available, and the drop-off publishes no rate for a load that mixes refuse with building material, so confirm that charge when you book.
General refuse, single-stream recyclables and cardboard, plastic film and polystyrene foam, mattresses and box springs, couches and reclining chairs, appliances and white goods, flat screen and cathode ray tube televisions, loose electronic waste, household batteries, latex and oil based paint, tires, pallets, concrete and asphalt, vinyl siding, shingles, building material, yard waste and food scraps
