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.

Electronic waste is refused on the bulky cleanup, and a Forsyth County household can instead drop electronics and household hazardous waste free of charge at the 3RC EnviroStation, which takes computers and televisions with a limit of two televisions per household each year.
City cost & eligibility
The bulky cleanup refuses electronic waste and no curbside electronics charge is published. The free route is the 3RC EnviroStation, where Forsyth County residents drop off electronics and household hazardous waste at no charge with proof of residency and a short form, and a household is limited to two televisions a year. Call CityLink at 336-727-8000 or 311 to confirm the current site details before loading a device.
When & how
Take electronics to the 3RC EnviroStation rather than the curb, and keep them off the bulky pile during cleanup week because they are refused there.
Get it ready
Keep electronics out of the bulky pile and out of the recycling cart, clear personal data before handover, and bring proof of Forsyth County residency, since an attendant checks the driver's licence and asks for a short form. Regular trash, recyclables, ammunition, explosives, radioactive, medical or infectious and e-cigarette waste are refused at the EnviroStation, and an unlisted material should be phoned in before the trip.
The bulky cleanup refuses several categories outright
The city cannot collect construction materials, car parts, cement, electronic waste, glass, hazardous or infectious waste, lumber or wood, oil drums, paint, rocks, tires or yard waste on the bulky cleanup, and a pile that is mixed with unacceptable materials is not collected at all. Bulky items are collected only during the annual neighborhood cleanup, which is for single-family homes, and outside that week the city directs residents to the Hanes Mill Road Landfill at 325 W Hanes Mill Rd.
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.

Before you book

How much does electronics pickup cost in Winston-Salem?+
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 Winston-Salem?+
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 do Winston-Salem televisions and computers go?+
Not in the bulky cleanup pile: the city lists electronic waste among the items it cannot collect, along with hazardous or infectious waste, tires, paint, glass, cement, lumber, car parts and construction materials. A Forsyth County household can take computers, televisions and other electronic waste to the 3RC EnviroStation free of charge with proof of residency and a short form, and each household is limited to two televisions a year. Call CityLink at 336-727-8000 or 311 to confirm the current site details.Official guidance
