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.

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, computers, monitors and cell phones are collected at the curb on Thursday night with the other electronic waste, while small non metal appliances go out with the regular garbage.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Hoboken households on the city collection route, because the city lists computers, televisions, monitors and cell phones in the Thursday electronic waste stream and publishes no fee for the collection.
When & how
Put the device at the curb after 7:30 p.m., or after 9 p.m. in the Limited Business Area, on Thursday night, and leave it for the Friday morning pickup before noon. Lithium ion batteries go out with the electronic waste on the same night.
Get it ready
Wipe or remove the storage from a computer or phone before it goes out, and keep batteries out of the recycling bins, because the city states plainly that no batteries should be in recycling. Alkaline batteries go with regular garbage, lithium ion batteries go with electronic waste, and compact fluorescent bulbs go to a home improvement retailer while incandescent bulbs and lighting fixtures go with the garbage.
Thursday is the metal, yard waste and electronics night
Thursday night carries metal furniture, appliances, yard waste, electronic waste, paper recycling and cardboard, and those streams are collected on Friday morning before noon by crews that are separate from the garbage round. Appliances need their doors removed, electronic waste covers computers, televisions, monitors and cell phones with lithium ion batteries, and yard waste needs separated piles with tied branches, while paper and cardboard have to be dry, flattened and secured.
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.
Hoboken Department of Parks, Recreation and Public Works
Use the Thursday metal and electronic waste round
A Hoboken household with a refrigerator, washer, dryer, stove, air conditioner, televisions, computer or cell phone to dispose of.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Hoboken households on the city collection route. The city lists these items in the Thursday stream without a per item charge and points to a New Jersey Clean Energy Program rebate that may pay for recycling an old appliance.
Arrange it
Put the item out after 7:30 p.m., or after 9 p.m. in the Limited Business Area, on Thursday night and leave it for the Friday morning pickup before noon by the metal and electronics crew.
The metal crew only takes metal furniture and appliances, so a small non metal appliance such as a coffee maker or blender goes with the regular garbage, and every battery has to stay out of the recycling bins.
