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.

Any item with a battery or a cord is recycled free at the three Kent County electronics drop-offs, and none of it belongs in the city trash or recycling cart.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Kent County residents dropping off their own household electronics at the Rockford, Byron Center or Wealthy Street sites, with commercial electronic waste from businesses, schools and non-profits refused.
When & how
Drop the items during center hours, Monday to Saturday at Rockford and on weekday and Saturday mornings at Byron Center, or during the SafeChem window on Wealthy Street, which is Monday and Thursday afternoons, Wednesday mornings and the second Saturday of the month.
Get it ready
Wipe stored data from drives, phones and tablets, keep power supplies and cables with the device, and separate anything the county handles elsewhere, such as batteries, light bulbs, media and small appliances, so the drop-off is not refused.
Prepare restricted items before they leave the house
Televisions of any kind are refused at the curb and go to a Kent County electronics drop-off instead, appliances holding refrigerant are accepted for recycling with the fee paid at the county scale, refrigerators and freezers lose their doors first, household chemicals and paint wait for a SafeChem collection window, and yard waste, wood, boards and construction material never go inside a city cart or a blue city bag.
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 Grand Rapids Public Works with Kent County Department of Public Works
Take household chemicals to a SafeChem collection site
A household holding hazardous material that cannot go in a refuse or recycling cart, including paint, chemicals, batteries, light bulbs and tubes, gasoline, fuel tanks, compressed gas tanks, mercury, medication, fire extinguishers and electronic waste such as televisions and monitors.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Kent County residents only, with no appointment needed and the program paid for by the county solid waste ordinance; businesses, schools and farms are refused and must use a commercial hazardous waste contractor.
Arrange it
Go to the nearest site during its own window: 1045 Wealthy Street SW in Grand Rapids on Monday and Thursday afternoons, Wednesday mornings and the second Saturday morning; 2908 Ten Mile in Rockford on Friday mornings; 10300 South Kent Drive SW in Byron Center on Monday mornings; 5068 Breton SE in Kentwood on Tuesdays; or 2350 Ivanrest Avenue SW in Grandville on Monday afternoon and Thursday morning.

Electronics are taken only at the Grand Rapids, Rockford and Byron Center sites, the Kentwood and Grandville sites take none at all, businesses and schools cannot use the program, and latex paint is refused at every SafeChem site and has to be dried out for the trash instead.
Use a retailer or reuse outlet for electronics, appliances and furniture
A household that would rather trade an item in, donate it or hand it to a retailer than drive to a county center.
Cost & conditions
The county's community resource lists publish no single rate: some outlets take electronics at no cost and others charge by item, and Best Buy, Office Depot OfficeMax and the recyclers each set their own price, so the amount has to be confirmed with the outlet before the trip.
Arrange it
The county lists Best Buy at 3410 Alpine Avenue NW, Comprenew, In The Image at 4255 Kalamazoo Avenue SE, Office Depot OfficeMax, Padnos, Valley City Electronic Recycling at 2929 32nd Street SE, Goodwill and Habitat for Humanity as outlets that may take electronics, appliances, furniture and building material, so call the outlet with the exact item first.
Some of these outlets charge for what they take, Goodwill accepts working flat screen televisions but no box-style sets, In The Image takes televisions only up to 42 inches that are cable ready with audio inputs, and working items should be donated or given away before they are scrapped.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Electronics removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Grand Rapids.
How much does electronics pickup cost in Grand Rapids?+
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 Grand Rapids?+
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.
Where do old computers and printers go?+
Kent County takes them free. Its electronics page says any item with a battery or a cord can be recycled at the three residential drop-offs, which are the North Kent center in Rockford, the South Kent center in Byron Center and SafeChem on Wealthy Street in Grand Rapids. Those locations serve residents only and refuse commercial electronic waste from businesses, schools and non-profits, and electronics should never go in the curbside single-stream cart or the trash because of fire risk.Official guidance
Where can I take items myself in Kent County?+
The North Kent Recycling & Waste Center at 2908 Ten Mile Road in Rockford and the South Kent Recycling & Waste Center at 10300 South Kent Drive in Byron Center take appliances, electronics, tires, scrap metal and compressed gas tanks, and the Grand Rapids SafeChem site at 1045 Wealthy Street SW takes electronics during its own collection window. Electronics are free for residents apart from box-style televisions, monitors and appliances holding refrigerant, mattresses and box springs are landfilled per piece, and concrete, asphalt and aggregate go to South Kent free of charge.Official guidance
