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.

Small electronics go free to the household hazardous waste facility, while large electronics such as televisions are refused and need confirming.
City cost & eligibility
The city takes small electronics such as cell phones, digital cameras, pagers, two way radios and ink and toner cartridges at its free household hazardous waste facility, but it states that large electronics are not accepted and publishes no curbside route, so confirm where a television, monitor or computer goes with the Contact Center at 573.874.2489.
When & how
Take small electronics to the household hazardous waste facility on a collection Saturday, and call 573.874.2489 before moving a large set because the facility refuses large electronics.
Get it ready
Keep electronics out of the roll cart and out of the blue recycling bags, which take only containers and bundled fibers, and clear personal data before handover.
Appliances, bulky items and hazardous products have their own requests
Bulky items and major appliances are not put out without a request: they are arranged through the CoMo Recycle and Trash app or at 573.874.2489, with bulky items at the curb by 7:30 a.m. and 8 feet of clearance plus 3 feet from the roll cart on a shared refuse day, and appliances picked up on the regular trash day when requested at least 24 hours ahead. Materials from the erection, destruction or remodeling of a building, felled trees, large automobile parts and hazardous materials are generally prohibited on both routes, and hazardous products go to the free household hazardous waste facility instead of any cart.
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.
A Columbia household with paint, solvents, pesticides, pool chemicals, batteries, fluorescent lights, medications or other hazardous products.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Free to Columbia residents at the Household Hazardous Waste Collection Facility, which opens the first and third Saturdays April through November from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m.
Arrange it
Take the products on a collection Saturday, in their original containers with the lids tight and nothing mixed, standing upright in a cardboard box, and call the Contact Center at 573.874.2489 with any question.
No hazardous product is collected curbside, tires and large electronics are not accepted, and small electronics such as cell phones, cameras and cartridges are accepted here instead.

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.
