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.

Televisions, computers and monitors are expressly excluded from the AmeriWaste collection and are routed to the district's household hazardous waste alternative in Pearland.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Free of charge at the Stella Roberts Recycling Center in Pearland, where the district says household hazardous waste may be disposed of at no charge on presentation of a Texas ID and a WCID1 water bill.
When & how
Call the Stella Roberts Recycling Center on 281-489-2795 before travelling to 5800 Magnolia Parkway in Pearland, and keep the devices off the street and out of the cart until then.
Get it ready
Erase personal data before the device leaves the house, keep the screens intact, and never put a television, computer or monitor at the curb because the district prohibits it.
The AmeriWaste cart is the only container serviced, and it goes into the street by 7 a.m. with the wheels against the curb and the front facing the street. Leave two feet of space all round from fences, meters, poles, utility boxes, trees, shrubs, mailboxes and other containers, keep vehicles clear so the truck can manoeuvre, bag loose trash, and keep only garbage inside the cart with the lid closed. Carts are set out no earlier than the night before and returned to the property no later than the morning after collection.
Four extra items, and the excluded material stays off the street
Up to four items mixed or matched from bundles, green waste and heavy trash go out with the cart on the collection day. Bundles stay under five feet long, 18 inches in diameter and 50 pounds, green waste goes in bags no heavier than 50 pounds and no more than four bags or bundles, and heavy trash covers anything too big for a cart, with a refrigerant tag required on a refrigerator or freezer. Televisions, computers, monitors, microwaves, paint, tires, motor oil, pool chemicals and cooking oil must never be put on the street.
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.

These items are excluded from the AmeriWaste collection and must never be placed on the street, and the district asks residents to call before travelling.
Dickinson's curbside system covers the routine clean-out. AmeriWaste, under the water district's contract, collects twice a week from a 96-gallon cart that is the only container serviced, and any four items mixed from bundles, green waste and heavy trash go out with it. Heavy trash means anything too big for the cart, including appliances and furniture, with a refrigerant tag required on a refrigerator or freezer. Bundles stay under five feet, 18 inches and 50 pounds and green waste is bagged under the same weight. Everything hazardous is off the street: televisions, computers, monitors, microwaves, paint, tires, motor oil, pool chemicals and cooking oil are excluded, and the district routes household hazardous waste free of charge to the Stella Roberts Recycling Center in Pearland with a call ahead and proof of a WCID1 account. Cooking oil has its own free station on 45th Street, and the Texas City Biosphere 1 Recycling Center at 3301 Loop 197 North takes used motor oil, paper, cardboard, aluminium, steel, glass and plastics numbered 1 and 2 at no charge. Debris that does not meet the collection requirements needs a special pickup booked with AmeriWaste on 281-585-3200.
