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.

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.

Computers, monitors, printers, stereos and other listed devices are not garbage in Clifton and go to the same two city drop-off sites.
City cost & eligibility
The city names computers, keyboards, monitors, printers, radios, stereos, telephone systems, televisions and VCRs as items the resident has to handle, with drop-off at the Recycling Center at 900 Clifton Ave or the Public Works Yard at 307 E. 7th Street. No household drop-off fee is published, and small batteries have their own programme, so confirm the item and the terms with the Recycling Office at 973-470-2239.
When & how
Use the Recycling Center at the City Hall complex Monday through Saturday 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM, or the Public Works Yard at 307 E. 7th Street Monday through Friday 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., and check the battery programme for rechargeable batteries.
Get it ready
Wipe stored data from drives, laptops and phones, keep the power supply and cables with the device, and keep electronics out of the garbage barrels and off the bulk pile, because the city treats them as the resident's responsibility.
Electronics, propane and masonry never ride the truck
Electronic items are the resident's responsibility and are not collected with the garbage, so computers, keyboards, monitors, printers, radios, stereos, telephone systems, televisions and VCRs go to the Recycling Center on the City Hall complex or the Public Works Yard instead. Propane tanks belong to the homeowner, will not be collected and can lead to a summons if they are put out. Dirt, stones, brick and concrete are barred from the garbage, and household hazardous waste waits for one of the Passaic County collection days.
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.

Drop electronics at a city site
A Clifton household with a television, monitor, computer, printer, stereo or similar device named on the city's electronic item list.
Cost & conditions
The city publishes the two drop-off sites and their hours but no household fee, so confirm the terms with the Recycling Office at 973-470-2239 before you load the vehicle.
Arrange it
Take the item to the Recycling Center on the City Hall complex at 900 Clifton Ave, open Monday through Saturday 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM, or to the Public Works Yard at 307 E. 7th Street, open Monday through Friday 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Electronics are never collected curbside, and the city treats them as the resident's responsibility, so leaving a television or a computer at the curb can draw a summons.

Wait for a Passaic County hazardous waste day
A household holding paint, chemicals, batteries or other household hazardous waste that cannot go in the garbage.
Cost & conditions

Arrange it
Call the county Office of Recycling at 973-305-5738 for the next of the three collection days a year, and keep the material in its original containers until then.

Electronics are the resident's responsibility and are not collected curbside; the city publishes no household drop-off fee, so confirm the terms with the Recycling Office at 973-470-2239; and a bulky item such as a mattress or a couch does not belong here, because that route is the first garbage day of the week at the curb.

Electronic waste is taken Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., and the department office is open Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 3:30 PM.

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 old computers and printers go in Clifton?+
They go to a city drop-off, not the curb. The city lists computers, keyboards, monitors, printers, radios, stereos, telephone systems, televisions and VCRs as electronic items the resident has to handle, and the routes are the Recycling Center on the City Hall complex at 900 Clifton Ave, open Monday through Saturday 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM, and the Public Works Yard at 307 E. 7th Street, open Monday through Friday 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.Official guidance
