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.

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.

You’re in the loop. Until it’s gone.

Televisions and computers are banned from North Carolina landfills, and the city refuses them at the curb. The city and county run free drop-off sites instead, and electronics must never go in a recycling cart.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Free drop-off for households at the designated sites: the High Point Material Recovery Facility at 5875 Riverdale Drive in Jamestown and the unstaffed Ingleside trailer at 3001 Ingleside Drive. Confirm the hours on 336-883-3623 or 336-883-3111 before travelling.
When & how
Drop off during site hours. The Material Recovery Facility is open Monday to Thursday, and the Ingleside trailer Monday to Friday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data before a computer leaves the house, because the city says hard drives are shredded by a certified e-cycler with a certificate of destruction available. Keep the device out of every cart, since compacting a lithium battery can start a truck fire.
The city is not allowed to collect tires, and it will not collect televisions or computers, because North Carolina bans those devices from the landfill. Tires go to the Guilford County collection facility on Bishop Road or a household hazardous waste event, and electronics go to a free drop-off site or one of those events.
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.
City of High Point Environmental Services with Guilford County collection sites
Use a household hazardous waste event
A High Point household with paint, chemicals, batteries, a broken appliance, scrap metal or metal furniture.
Cost & conditions
Neither the city page nor the county material states a fee for the High Point events or for the county collection center on Patterson Avenue, so confirm the current terms with the county center or with the city before loading. Business waste, asbestos, explosives, infectious waste, radioactive material and general household trash are refused.
Arrange it
High Point holds its events at 1401 E. Martin Luther King Jr. Drive, entered from Hoskins Street, and the site is closed to the public on other days. The published 2026 dates are May 16 and November 14 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., so check the current schedule before loading. The county center at 2750 Patterson Avenue is open Monday to Friday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Events only on their scheduled days, and the list of what is taken changes, so confirm the item first. Metal furniture and broken appliances are on the event list; ordinary household trash is not, and refrigerant appliances still have to be confirmed.
High Point residents have four self-haul routes that cover most of what a curbside cart cannot take. Appliances, mattresses and other bulky items can go to the Kersey Valley Landfill white goods and bulky drop-off during its weekday hours, billed by weight. Televisions, computers and other electronics go free to the Material Recovery Facility in Jamestown or the unstaffed trailer at Ingleside. Paint, chemicals, batteries and tires wait for a household hazardous waste event at 1401 E. Martin Luther King Jr. Drive or go to the Guilford County center on Patterson Avenue in Greensboro, and the county's Bishop Road facility takes scrap metal and white goods. Hours and event dates change, so call before you load.

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.

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.
Will the city pick up a television or a computer?+
No. North Carolina bans televisions and computers from the landfill and the city will not collect them at the curb.
