You’ve moved on. Your old electronics haven’t.

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 leave through the hauler's electronics and appliances pickup, which names televisions and computer monitors along with computers, laptops, keyboards, DVD players, VCRs, gaming systems, printers, fax machines and speakers. The county household hazardous waste facility inside Blaine does not take electronics, so the hauler pickup and the public drop-off center are the two local routes.
City cost & eligibility
No electronics rate is published. The hauler charges a fee that varies with the type and size of the item and quotes it when the pickup is booked on 763-780-8464, and the public drop-off center on Xylite Street takes e-waste for a fee as well.
When & how
Call Walters Recycling and Refuse at 763-780-8464 to book the pickup on the next regular collection day, or take the device to the drop-off center at 10191 Xylite Street NE, which is open Monday to Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data from a computer, laptop, tablet or phone before handover, and keep electronics out of the trash cart and out of the curbside recycling cart. The county household hazardous waste facility lists electronics as not accepted, so nothing here belongs in a chemical load.
The city ordinance behind the collection rules asks for refuse, recyclables and yard waste to be set out immediately behind the curb and within two feet of it, and containers are not allowed in the street. Collection begins at 7AM and the carts are out at the curb by 7AM, so the night before is the safe time to stage everything.
Bulk items and appliances are not collected on their own. The city asks households without the premium service to call Walters Recycling and Refuse at 763-780-8464 to arrange the pickup, and it states that all appliance and bulk item services are prepaid. The hauler asks for the booking at least one business day before the regular collection day and gives the price at that point.
Services that follow a holiday may be delayed one day, and the hauler publishes the delay for each holiday of the year. The 2026 list delays Friday services by a day after New Year's Day, every service by a day all week after Memorial Day and after Labor Day, Thursday and Friday by a day after Thanksgiving, and Friday by a day after Christmas, with no delay around Independence Day.
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 Blaine organized collection with Walters Recycling and Refuse
Book the electronics and appliances pickup
A household with a television, monitor, computer, printer, gaming system, washer, dryer, stove or refrigerator to recycle.
Cost & conditions
No rate is published for this service. The hauler states that a fee applies, that it varies with the type and size of the item, and that it quotes the price when the pickup is booked at 763-780-8464.
Arrange it
Call Walters Recycling and Refuse at 763-780-8464, say what the item is, take the quote and get on the schedule for the next regular collection day. The appliance or device goes out on the booked day with the preparation the hauler asks for.
This is the route for electronics and appliances, and the county household hazardous waste facility in the same city does not accept either one. Refrigerator, freezer and other latchable doors must come off, water softener brine tanks must be completely empty, and the item is quoted rather than priced from a published table.
