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.

Electronics are refused at every city venue. Televisions are on the prohibited list for the free bulky pickup, the Drop-Off Depot refuses televisions and computer monitors, and the mobile hazardous waste events refuse electronics, so the published route is the regional district's drop-off recycling list.
City cost & eligibility
Independence publishes no municipal electronics collection or drop-off and no rate for one: televisions and computer monitors are refused at the Depot, electronics are refused at the hazardous waste events, and televisions are prohibited at the free bulky pickup. The city directs residents to RecycleSpot for drop-off recycling sites in the region, so the cost, if any, is set by whichever site takes the device.
When & how
There is no city electronics day. Use a regional drop-off recycling site, which the district page lists as free to Independence residents at Ted's Trash Service on 10736 E Truman Rd, the Lee's Summit Resource Recovery Park on 2101 SE Hamblen Rd and the Kansas City Recycling Center on 4707 Deramus.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data before a computer or phone leaves the house, and confirm with the specific site that it takes a television or monitor before loading, because the district page lists the sites for recycling in general rather than confirming each site's electronics rules.
The free pickup and the paid depot accept different things
The one-time free IndeCleanup bulky item pickup and the Drop-Off Depot are not interchangeable, and the prohibited list at the pickup says so by pointing several items at the depot. The free pickup takes large and small appliances, auto parts, battery powered equipment with the batteries removed, a bed with its headboard, frame and mattress, bicycles, countertops and cabinets, drywall, carpet, empty cans and buckets, old trash cans and recycling bins, sinks and toilets and a water heater, up to five items per appointment for a single-family home or a building of six or fewer units. It refuses items containing refrigerant, tires, brush and lumber, dirt, tree stumps and trunks, lawn mowers and gas powered equipment, yard debris, commercial or industrial waste, demolition and construction waste, dead animals and animal bedding, household hazardous waste, abandoned vehicles and televisions, and several of those refusals are annotated as accepted at the Drop-Off Depots instead.
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.
An Independence household with recyclables, yard waste or a hard to handle item such as a television that no city program takes.
Cost & conditions
No charge. The regional district states that Independence residents can use the listed recycling centers free of charge at Ted's Trash Service on 10736 E Truman Rd, the Lee's Summit Resource Recovery Park on 2101 SE Hamblen Rd and the Kansas City Recycling Center on 4707 Deramus, and that yard waste can be dropped at the Independence Drop-Off Depot, Missouri Organic Recycling on 7700 E. US Hwy 40 and the Lee's Summit Resource Recovery Park.
Arrange it
Choose the nearest listed site, check its own hours and accepted items first, and take the material in one trip.
The district lists the sites for recycling in general, so a specific site's electronics rules have to be confirmed before a television or monitor is loaded, and the city's own depot remains the route for paid household loads.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Electronics removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Independence.
How much does electronics pickup cost in Independence?+
A computer monitor is $79 as the first item and $19 as an additional item. Choose the actual devices and quantities to see your combined price online. A separate desktop tower and monitor are separate items. Loading, transportation and disposal are included; review the total and any applicable tax before payment.
Can you pick up old electronics today in Independence?+
Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup. Choose from the dates shown at checkout and have the prepared items outside according to your confirmation. We text you when your hauler is on the way and provide photos when the pickup is done. The booking is for a day, not an exact arrival time.
Does computer removal include my monitor and printer?+
Desktop computer covers one tower or one all-in-one computer. Add a separate monitor, printer or laptop as its own item if it is going too. For small devices, cables and chargers together, choose Box of electronics and check the description before booking.
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.
Where does a television go in Independence?+
Not to any city program. Televisions are on the prohibited list for the annual free bulky item pickup, the Drop-Off Depot's not accepted list begins with televisions and computer monitors, and electronics are refused at the mobile household hazardous waste events. The city points residents to RecycleSpot for drop-off recycling sites, and the district's page for Independence lists three regional recycling drop-offs free to residents.Official guidance
