Televisions, computers and other electronics stay out of the trash cart and out of the recycling cart. Two routes are published for the city: the two hazardous waste and e-waste days at the Department of Public Works, or a public electronics drop off that charges per item.
City cost & eligibility
From $25 per television at the public electronics drop off, which also lists cathode ray tube monitors at a lower rate and printers, copiers and fax machines below that. Fees are collected when the item arrives, and most other electronics such as computers, cell phones, monitors, servers, audio equipment and game consoles are taken at no charge. The city's hazardous waste and e-waste days at the DPW are the municipal route and publish no fee.
When & how
The city's household hazardous waste and e-waste days run May 16 and September 19, 2026, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at 19700 Pleasant Street. The public electronics drop off takes items on weekday business hours.
Get it ready
Keep screens whole and dry, and plan to carry the item in yourself. Batteries, cell phones, computers and televisions are all listed as material that does not belong in curbside recycling, and the county household hazardous waste events do not accept computers or any other electronic device.
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 St. Clair Shores Public Works Department with Express Waste Services
Weekly curbside collection with Express Waste
A household setting out mattresses, couches, appliances, exercise equipment or prepared homeowner building material with the regular collection on its service day.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Curbside service is inside the residential quarterly rate every household already pays, and the hauler answers that large item pickups carry no separate charge. The rate amount is not published on the pages read for this guide, so confirm your quarterly bill with the hauler at 248-927-1391.
Arrange it
Curbside collection covers large household items, but electronics are not part of it. Carry screens and devices to the city's hazardous waste and e-waste days on May 16 and September 19 at the DPW, or to a public electronics drop off, and put everything else at the curb by 7 a.m. on your service day.
Batteries, cell phones, computers and televisions are refused in the trash cart and in the recycling cart, and the county hazardous waste events do not accept computers or any other electronic device. Anything else you set out still has to be at the curb by 7 a.m., sized to one room's worth, and inside the 32 gallon and 60 pound container limit.
