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.

Electronics run on the county calendar rather than the city one. The 2026 Mercer County sheet publishes three hazardous waste and e-waste recycling Saturdays at the Dempster fire training site in Lawrence Township, which is the electronics route published for this address, and the city runs no electronics collection of its own.
City cost & eligibility
The county sheet publishes the event dates, the hours and the site but no fee and no item list, so confirm the device and any charge with the Mercer County Improvement Authority on 609-278-8086 before loading. The city publishes no electronics collection of its own.
When & how
The three published 2026 events are Saturdays in March, June and September, running from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Dempster Fire Training School on 350 Lawrence Station Road in Lawrence Township. There is no city electronics collection day, so a device waits for one of those dates or goes to a private recycler.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data from any computer, laptop, tablet or phone before handover. Keep electronics out of the recycling buckets, because the flyer warns that trash placed in recycling buckets is not picked up and recyclables have to be separated from trash under the law. Confirm what the county takes before loading, because the sheet lists the event without an item list.
The flyer states that trash placed in recycling buckets will not be picked up, and that recyclables shall be disposed of separately from trash as a matter of law. Recycling questions go to the Mercer County Improvement Authority rather than the city, and Trenton shares the Wednesday recycling run with Robbinsville under the 2026 county schedule. On a holiday week, recycling that would fall on one of six listed dates moves to the following Saturday.
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 Trenton Division of Solid Waste Management, with Mercer County for recycling and hazardous waste
Use the county hazardous waste and e-waste events
A Trenton household with paint, chemicals, batteries or an obsolete television or computer that cannot go in either curbside stream.
Cost & conditions
The county sheet publishes the three dates, the hours and the site but no fee and no item list, so confirm the material and any charge with the Mercer County Improvement Authority on 609-278-8086 before loading.
Arrange it
Go to one of the three published Saturdays, in March, June and September, between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. at the Dempster Fire Training School on 350 Lawrence Station Road in Lawrence Township. Nothing is collected at the curb in the meantime, so the material has to be stored safely between events.
The events run three times a year, which means a gap of months between collection days, and no item list is published on the sheet, so a household cannot assume a particular device or chemical is taken without checking. The city's own household hazardous waste page no longer resolves, so the county is the only route read.
County site for the hazardous waste and e-waste recycling Saturdays
Dempster Fire Training School
350 Lawrence Station Road, Lawrence Township, NJ 08648
The 2026 Mercer County sheet lists this as the site for hazardous waste and e-waste recycling on three Saturdays during the year. The sheet publishes the dates, the hours and the address without an item level list, so the material has to be confirmed with the county before travelling.
The site operates only on the three published event days rather than as a standing drop-off, so material has to be stored safely and cannot be left at the curb in between. The sheet publishes no item list and no fee, and the city's own household hazardous waste page no longer resolves, so both the accepted material and any charge remain confirmations.
8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the three published Saturdays in 2026, which fall in March, June and September. Confirm details with the Mercer County Improvement Authority on 609-278-8086.

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 Trenton?+
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.
