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.

Televisions, monitors and computers are not a curbside item in Elizabeth, because the brochure requires electronic devices to be brought to the city Recycling Center. VCRs, desktop fax machines and similar devices may go out with the household garbage instead.
City cost & eligibility
The city requires the devices at the Recycling Center and publishes no drop-off fee for them, so confirm the current position with the Recycling Division at 908-820-4150 before loading a set.
When & how
Take the device to the Recycling Center at 523 Trenton Avenue, near the animal shelter and across from Mattano Park, which the brochure lists as open seven days a week.
Get it ready
Bring the device whole, because the brochure does not accept dismantled electronics. Delete personal and confidential information first, and keep the set off the bulk route and out of the recycling bin.
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.

Elizabeth Recycling Center drop-off
A household with a television, monitor, computer or one of the special recyclables that cannot go in the cart.
Cost & conditions
The city publishes the accepted items and the center hours but no drop-off fee, so confirm the current position with the Recycling Division at 908-820-4150.
Arrange it
Take the material to 523 Trenton Avenue, near the animal shelter and across from Mattano Park.
No dismantled electronics, no commercial dumping, and anyone caught dumping garbage at the center is prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
Self-hauling in Elizabeth runs through the city Recycling Center at 523 Trenton Avenue, near the animal shelter and across from Mattano Park. The center takes televisions, monitors and computers as whole units, batteries including car and rechargeable types, used motor oil and cooking oil for residents with identification and no more than five gallons, fluorescent bulbs, the accepted number 6 white foam, tires, and household plastic bags and wrap. It refuses dismantled electronics, crushed bulbs, colored or food service foam, other car products and paint, and any commercial dumping. For a large household item, the cheaper route is the bulk allowance of three items with the regular garbage on the second garbage day, while metal appliances and yard waste move only by appointment on 908-820-4150, with the doors removed and the refrigerant evacuated before the call. Construction material never rides either city route, so a project load goes with the contractor or to a registered facility. 2026 Trash and Recycling CalendarCity Yard

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Electronics removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Elizabeth.
How much does electronics pickup cost in Elizabeth?+
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 Elizabeth?+
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 televisions go in Elizabeth?+
To the city Recycling Center at 523 Trenton Avenue, because the brochure requires televisions, monitors and computers to be brought there and does not accept dismantled electronics. VCRs, desktop fax machines and similar devices may go out with the household garbage, so the two categories are not the same.Official guidance
What goes to the Elizabeth Recycling Center?+
Televisions, monitors and computers, which are the electronic devices the brochure requires at the center, along with batteries including car and rechargeable types, used motor oil and cooking oil for residents with identification and no more than five gallons, fluorescent bulbs, the accepted white foam, tires, and household plastic bags and wrap. The center refuses dismantled electronics, crushed bulbs, colored or food service foam, other car products and paint.Official guidance
