Old computer, spare monitor, printer that’s ready to go, gone from the curb. Choose your electronics, see the exact price and book by 2pm for same-day pickup.
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.

Televisions, computers, printers, gaming consoles and other named electronics can use the eligible bulky-item route or an appropriate electronics drop-off.
City cost & eligibility
Eligible city collection is tied to a paid garbage account and annual allowance. The Environmental Center has separate no-charge residential eligibility.
When & how
For city collection, use the regular collection day and keep the device outside the carts. For recycling, use the Environmental Center during current public hours.
Get it ready
Never put electronics or batteries inside a garbage or recycling cart. Remove loose batteries, protect personal data and keep the device intact for drop-off.
Place an eligible bulky item outside by 6 a.m. on the regular collection day, next to but not leaning on the garbage cart. Label it bulky and remove food, liquids, gas and batteries. A different curb or alley location requires advance scheduling.
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.
Eligible one-to-four-unit homes and opted-in properties with furniture, appliances, electronics or exercise equipment on the current accepted list.
Cost & conditions
The yearly allowance is included in an existing paid garbage account. Confirm account eligibility, the remaining count and any excess-item price.
Arrange it
Use the normal collection location by 6 a.m. on collection day. Contact the city first only for a different collection location or an unusual item.
The allowance is per garbage cart. Mattresses use their separate program, construction debris is excluded, and buildings outside coordinated service need another arrangement.
Residents of buildings with five or more units that have not opted into coordinated city garbage service.
Cost & conditions
The property manager or private hauler sets eligibility, arrangements and price.
Arrange it
Ask the property owner or manager whether the building has opted into city service or uses a private hauler for large items.
Do not place an item out under the one-to-four-unit city rules without confirming the building's account. Mattress recycling has a separate all-residential program.
Household televisions, monitors, computers, printers, gaming consoles and other electronics on the current accepted list.
For eligible residents, not business waste. Keep electronics intact, remove loose batteries and confirm an unusual device before visiting. Large refrigerant appliances are outside this electronics drop-off scope.
Tuesday-Friday 11 a.m.-6 p.m.; Saturday 9 a.m.-4 p.m.; closed Sunday, Monday and listed county holidays.
No charge. Residents of Ramsey and the other counties named in the 2026 county guide delivering accepted household electronics; no business waste.
