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.

Electronics are refused on both bulky routes, and the county household chemical center takes only computers and cell phones among electronic devices. The city states plainly that electronic waste is unacceptable in the bulk and brush program, and it singles out older mirrored televisions with a hump in the back, so a television has no published destination and the household has to ask.
City cost & eligibility
No page kept here publishes a television route. The bulk program refuses electronic waste and older mirrored televisions and the Dallas County collection center refuses electronics other than computers and cell phones, so call the DeSoto Action Center on 972-274-2489 and ask where a television should go before setting it out, and confirm the same number for anything else with a circuit board.
When & how
Computers and cell phones go to the Dallas County Home Chemical Collection Center on Plano Road during its published hours, with a driver's license and a DeSoto utility bill as proof of residence. A television waits for the Action Center's answer rather than going to the curb.
Get it ready
Keep electronics out of the bulk pile, the brush pile and the recycling cart, because the bulk program refuses electronic waste and the recycling page refuses bagged material and mixed items. Wipe personal data from a computer or phone before handover, and note that the county center will not take an appliance either unless it is a computer or a cell phone.
Tires, batteries, carpet, electronics and construction never ride the bulk truck
The bulk and brush program refuses vehicle parts, tires, batteries, carpet, flammables, hazardous waste, electronic waste and older mirrored televisions with a hump in the back, along with lumber, drywall, paneling, tile, flooring, siding, concrete, sheet rock, bricks, glass and carpet or area rugs. One small do it yourself project, such as a toilet, a small cabinet and sink, fence panels, interior doors, or molding and baseboards cut into four foot lengths, is named on the city's large bulk list and fits inside the ten cubic yard allowance. Hazardous products and computers and cell phones go to the Dallas County center instead, and a larger project load needs its own container.
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.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Electronics removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in DeSoto.
How much does electronics pickup cost in DeSoto?+
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 DeSoto?+
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, computers and electronics go in DeSoto?+
Computers and cell phones go to the Dallas County Home Chemical Collection Center at 11234 Plano Road in Dallas, open Tuesdays from 9 am to 7:30 pm, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 8:30 am to 5 pm and the second and fourth Saturdays from 9 am to 3 pm, with a driver's license and a DeSoto utility bill as proof of residence. A television has no published route because the bulk program refuses electronic waste and the county center refuses electronics other than computers and cell phones, so call the Action Center on 972-274-2489 first.Official guidance
Who collects trash and bulk items in DeSoto?+
Republic Services collects for the city as the primary waste provider, and the DeSoto Action Center handles questions, missed pickups and project containers on 972-274-CITY, which is 972-274-2489. Trash runs twice a week on Monday and Thursday or Tuesday and Friday, recycling runs every Wednesday, and the bulk and brush program is attached to the household water account because the sanitation charge rides on that bill.Official guidance
How do I know which week my bulk collection falls in?+
The city divides DeSoto into four quadrants that a map assigns by address, and each quadrant is served once a month in order: quadrant one the first week of the month, quadrant two the second week, quadrant three the third week and quadrant four the fourth week, with the cycle repeating the next month. The schedule begins on the first Monday of the first full week, and the Republic Services app carries the dates, reminders and extra service requests.Official guidance
