Electronic equipment is collected at the curb as its own scheduled pickup at a set price per item. The county also takes electronics at its recycling centres and at the landfill, where televisions and monitors cost one GarbCard each and CPUs and peripherals are free.
City cost & eligibility
$25 per item on the city curbside electronics collection, as set in the adopted city fee schedule; the county charges one GarbCard each for a television or monitor at its sites. City of Gastonia residential addresses for the curbside pickup, or Gaston County residents using a county recycling centre or the landfill during business hours.
When & how
Call the Customer Care Center at 704-866-6714 to report the item, place it at the curb before your regular collection day, and the city collects within 72 hours. County drop-off sites take electronics during their published opening hours.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data from computers and drives before disposal and keep cables with the device they belong to. At a county site, a television or monitor needs a GarbCard bought in advance, while CPUs and peripherals carry no charge and tires off the rim are free.
Garbage, bulky items and yard waste go to the curb by 7 a.m. on the collection day and may be set out after 6 p.m. the day before. Place the cart a few inches from the curb and never in the street, with the handle facing your house and the serial number facing the street, and bring it back in by midnight, since city ordinance requires carts to be stored behind the house.
Appliances and electronic equipment are collected as their own scheduled pickups at a set price per item. Call the Customer Care Center at 704-866-6714, put the item at the curb before your regular collection day, and the city collects within 72 hours.
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.

The county also takes electronics at its own sites, where a television or monitor needs a GarbCard bought in advance, CPUs and peripherals are free, and electric appliances such as vacuum cleaners, irons, radios and kitchen appliances are not accepted.
Gastonia's self-haul network is the county's. The Gaston County Landfill at 3155 Philadelphia Church Road in Dallas takes household and commercial waste, construction and demolition debris and yard waste with a half ton minimum on each per ton rate, and it accepts electronic equipment during business hours. Electronics elsewhere in the county go to every recycling centre except the Farmers Market and Duke Street, and the convenience sites run on GarbCards bought in advance from a vendor rather than cash, with televisions, monitors and mattresses priced by card and CPUs, peripherals and tires off the rim free. Household hazardous products wait for one of the four county events in 2026 at 200 Leisure Lane in Dallas, though fluorescent bulbs and latex paint can be taken to the landfill by appointment and batteries, motor oil and oil filters have convenience site routes of their own.
