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.

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 accepted in the curbside waste stream, with televisions, computer equipment, copy machines, cell phones and electronics with their cords on the accepted list. Used computer equipment including central processing units, monitors, keyboards, mice, modems and printers is also accepted at the city's hazardous waste drop-off day.
City cost & eligibility
Curbside electronics carry no separate published charge, and the hazardous waste drop-off day publishes no fee either, so confirm the current arrangements with the Division of Public Works on 248-871-2850. The RRRASOC recycling drop-off sites explicitly refuse electronics, so they are not an alternative.
When & how
Put the device out with the regular collection, or take computer equipment to the annual hazardous waste drop-off day at Oakland Community College's Orchard Ridge Campus, 27055 Orchard Lake Road, which runs from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM on a date published by RRRASOC.
Get it ready
Take the batteries out of anything that has them, because the city treats batteries as hazardous waste rather than trash, keep the cords with the device because they are accepted, and wipe personal data before a computer leaves the house.
One weekly collection covers waste, recycling, compost and bulk
Farmington Hills collects mixed waste, recyclables, compost material and bulk items once a week from single family residences, and the city states that a bulk item does not need a call in advance. Bulk items are defined as a large piece of furniture, bed springs, a mattress or box spring, a refrigerator or freezer with the doors removed, a stove and other such items incidental to housekeeping. Cans, bags and bundles go to the curb no earlier than 6:00 PM the day before collection and all containers come off the curb within 12 hours of collection, with pickup between 7:00 AM and 6:00 PM and everything out by 7:00 AM because times vary from week to week. Mixed waste containers must be between 10 and 35 gallons with a combined weight of no more than 60 pounds, and plastic bags between 10 and 30 gallons at least 2 mil thick with no more than 40 pounds inside, while cardboard boxes are not acceptable containers.
Yard waste is seasonal and chemicals have their own days
Yard waste collection runs from the week of April 6, 2026 through the week of December 14 to 18, 2026, and residents can put it in brown paper yard waste bags rolled closed, in a 35 gallon trash can with a free yard waste sticker on both sides from City Hall or the DPW, or in bundles of brush and small limbs no more than six inches in diameter, four feet long and 60 pounds, and mulch the rest back into the lawn; unbundled brush, large limbs and large amounts of dirt or sod will not be picked up. Christmas trees go out with the regular trash until the end of January, and free compost is available to Farmington Hills residents at the William Grace Dog Park property on 29040 Shiawassee Road east of Middlebelt during park hours. Household chemicals go instead to the annual household hazardous materials drop-off day the city co-sponsors with Farmington at Oakland Community College's Orchard Ridge Campus, 27055 Orchard Lake Road, from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM on a date published by RRRASOC, or to a RRRASOC region-wide event, and batteries are hazardous waste rather than trash.
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.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Electronics removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Farmington Hills.
How much does electronics pickup cost in Farmington Hills?+
A computer monitor is $79 as the first item and $19 as an additional item. Choose the actual devices and quantities to see your combined price online. A separate desktop tower and monitor are separate items. Loading, transportation and disposal are included; review the total and any applicable tax before payment.
Can you pick up old electronics today in Farmington Hills?+
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.
Can a television go out with the trash in Farmington Hills?+
Yes. Televisions are on the city's accepted item list along with computer equipment, copy machines, cell phones and electronics with cords, so a television goes out with the regular weekly collection. Batteries are the exception: the city treats them as hazardous waste, so they should be removed from a device before it goes out.Official guidance
Is there a recycling drop-off besides the cart?+
Yes. RRRASOC opens drop-off areas free to the public, including the materials recovery facility at 20000 W. Eight Mile Road in Southfield, on the northeast corner of Evergreen and Eight Mile, and a site at the Novi DPS Garage on 26300 Lee Begole Drive. Both are open daylight hours seven days a week and take unsorted, unbagged recyclables, but polystyrene foam, household hazardous waste and electronics are not accepted at either site.Official guidance
