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.

Televisions, monitors, computers and anything else with a cord are kept out of the recycling cart, and the route the city publishes for them is the DPW electronics drop-off held with Great Lakes Electronics rather than the weekly refuse truck.
City cost & eligibility
Sterling Heights lists electronics only through the DPW drop-off day and does not name televisions or computers among its no-charge curbside bulk items, so confirm curbside acceptance and any charge with Priority Waste at 586-228-1200 before setting a screen at the curb.
When & how
The DPW electronics drop-off with Great Lakes Electronics is published for Oct. 3, 2026 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Outside that date the county refuses electronics at its hazardous waste site and points residents to manufacturer and retailer takeback programs.
Get it ready
Keep a television, monitor or computer out of the recycling cart, which refuses batteries and electronics. Wipe personal data, keep any stand or cable you want to reuse, and take the item to the DPW at 7200 18 Mile Road during the published drop-off, or call Priority Waste at 586-228-1200 to ask about a curbside arrangement first.
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.
