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 are not part of the curbside route. The district office on Shawnee Road takes them by appointment during a spring to fall season and publishes a per television price, and two Goodwill stores in Lima are the year round alternative.
City cost & eligibility
From $20 per television or cathode ray tube set 32 inches and below at the district office, with flat panel sets 42 inches and larger at a higher published price and console televisions in wood cabinets higher again. Computers, laptops, computer components, printers, scanners, cell phones, microwaves and most other electronics carry no charge at the district office. The service is by appointment only and the collection season runs mid-April to mid-October.
When & how
Call the district at 800-553-6763 to book an appointment during the season, or bring computers and small electronics to the Goodwill stores on Harding Highway or Cable Road, which are open year round.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data from computers, laptops and phones before handover, and keep the cords and cables with the device. Do not put electronics or batteries in the blue recycling container, which accepts only plastics number 1 and 2, metal cans, glass, paper and cardboard.
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.

Electronics removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Lima.
How much does electronics pickup cost in Lima?+
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 Lima?+
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 Lima?+
To the North Central Ohio Solid Waste District office at 815 Shawnee Road, Suite D, by appointment during a collection season that runs mid-April to mid-October.

Is there a year round place for electronics?+
The district lists two Goodwill stores in Lima, on Harding Highway and on Cable Road, for electronics and computer donations, and they are open year round rather than only during the district's appointment season. The district still advises calling ahead before any drop off.Official guidance
