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, computers and small electric appliances
Accepted with preparation
Electronics have a county home rather than a curbside one. The city states that Harrisburg residents can take old electronic devices in any condition to the Dauphin County Recycling Center on South Cameron Street, free of charge for county residents, and it names toasters, microwave ovens, televisions and computers.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Dauphin County residents. The city states that the service is free of charge for county residents and that devices are accepted in any condition, and it puts the center at 1625 South Cameron St in Harrisburg.
When & how
The center opens Monday through Friday from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm and answers on (717) 982-6772. Nothing in the city's curbside program collects electronics, so the trip is the route rather than a collection day.
Get it ready
Keep electronics out of both curbside bins. Wipe personal data from a computer or drive before handover, and note that the city names small electric appliances such as toasters and microwave ovens alongside televisions and computers, so the packet does not widen that list to every device.
Containers and bulk go out the evening before the zone day
Every address in Harrisburg is served once a week on its own weekday zone, and the containers go to the appointed collection location the evening before that day. The city provides the standard trash and recycling containers, extra recycling bins are free, and questions about a container, its placement or an account go to the sanitation office on 717-412-4320.
Appliances, electronics and construction each leave the curb
Three categories are outside the ordinary collection: large appliances, which the city excludes from bulk and prices as a removal, electronics such as toasters, microwave ovens, televisions and computers, which go free to the Dauphin County Recycling Center on South Cameron Street, and construction material such as plaster board, sheet rock, lumber, rocks, soil, cinder blocks and plumbing fixtures, which goes to the transfer station on 19th Street, a Public Works roll-off or a listed hauler.
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.

A Dauphin County household with a television, a computer, a microwave oven, a toaster or another small electric appliance in any condition.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Dauphin County residents. The city states the service is free of charge for county residents and that devices are accepted in any condition.
Arrange it
Drive to 1625 South Cameron St in Harrisburg between 8:30 am and 4:30 pm Monday through Friday, and call (717) 982-6772 with a question about a particular device.
The center is the route because the city's curbside program does not collect electronics, and the city names small electric appliances, televisions and computers rather than every electronic device, so confirm an unusual item by phone before the trip.

How much does electronics pickup cost in Harrisburg?+
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 Harrisburg?+
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 and computers go in Harrisburg?+
To the Dauphin County Recycling Center at 1625 South Cameron St in Harrisburg, which takes small electric appliances, televisions and computers in any condition and is free of charge for Dauphin County residents. It opens Monday through Friday from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm and answers on (717) 982-6772. Electronics do not belong in either curbside bin.Official guidance
Who collects trash in Harrisburg?+
The City of Harrisburg Sanitation Office, part of the Department of Public Works, which collects and disposes of residential solid waste for more than 20,000 households and businesses with its own crews. Every address is serviced once a week on one of five weekday zones, the city provides the containers, and the sanitation office answers on 717-412-4320 from the Public Works building at 1820 Paxton Street.Official guidance
How do I find my collection day in Harrisburg?+
Your address sits in one of five zones, one for each weekday, and the city publishes a yearly trash and recycling schedule plus a Recycle Coach lookup where you can enter the address to see the collection schedule. Collection dates are updated through the year for city holidays and furlough days, and a citywide holiday delays collection by a day for the rest of that week.Official guidance
