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.

Electronics are refused in the Apex bulk collection and prohibited in the garbage cart, and the town's own recycling page sends them to Wake County instead. The South Wake Multi-Material Recycling Facility at 6130 Old Smithfield Road in Apex takes any corded electronic device, naming computers, game consoles, printers, copiers, small appliances, audio and video players and televisions.
City cost & eligibility
The town publishes no electronics charge because its own collection refuses them, and Wake County publishes no fee on the South Wake Multi-Material Recycling Facility page, so confirm the current terms on 919-856-7400 before you load.
When & how
The county facility is open Monday through Saturday 8 am to 4 pm to Wake County residents and businesses. The convenience centers take electronics at Sites 1, 4 and 11 only, and only on weekends.
Get it ready
Keep the device and its cord together, wipe a computer or phone before it leaves the house, and keep electronics out of the garbage cart, the recycling cart and the bulk pile, where the town refuses them.
Wake County runs its South Wake sites on consecutive addresses along Old Smithfield Road inside the town, which covers most of what Apex refuses at the curb: 6130 for appliances, electronics and scrap metal, 6150 for household hazardous waste, paints, batteries and propane, and 6160 for up to 5 scrap tires free from residents, all open Monday through Saturday 8 am to 4 pm. The convenience center at 6120 adds mattresses and homeowner construction debris and runs daily from 7 am to 7 pm, and none of the four pages publishes a fee.
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.
