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.

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 reasonably sized television and a computer ride the heavy pick up, projection televisions do not, and the city points at the two Texas recycling programmes and a paid per-pound drop-off for everything else.
City cost & eligibility
Televisions within a reasonable size and computers are part of the heavy pick up with no separate charge published, while the Stella Roberts facility in Pearland charges Friendswood residents a fee per pound for electronics-type items such as keyboards, monitors and hard drives. Confirm the fee on 281-489-2795 before loading.
When & how
Put a television or computer out on the first garbage day of the week, or take electronics-type material to the Stella Roberts facility in Pearland, whose hours the city does not publish.
Get it ready
Keep a projection television off the curb because the city refuses it, wipe personal data from a computer before handover, and treat the drop-off as a paid route rather than a free one because the city states there is a fee per pound there.
Heavy pick up rides the first garbage day of the week
Friendswood collects larger items once a week on the first garbage day of the household's two collection days. Furniture, mattresses, appliances, water heaters with the water removed, computers and reasonably sized televisions are all on the list, while carpet, swing sets and doors have their own cutting and weight conditions, and construction material, tires, chemicals and projection televisions are refused.
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 Friendswood with Waste Connections, the City of Pearland and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality
Use the Stella Roberts facility for hazardous waste and electronics
A Friendswood household with paint, chemicals, batteries, motor oil or electronics-type material such as a monitor, keyboard or hard drive.
Cost & conditions
Friendswood residents pay a small fee per pound at the Pearland facility, and no amount is published, so confirm the fee schedule on 281-489-2795 before loading the car.
Arrange it
Take the material to the Stella Roberts Recycling facility at 5800 Magnolia Parkway in Pearland on a Tuesday to Friday between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. or a Saturday between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m., keeping products in their original containers and separating electronics-type items from chemicals.
The route is fee based rather than free, the facility is in another city, and it is operated by Keep Pearland Beautiful rather than a city department, so confirm the current fee schedule on 281-489-2795 before travelling.
Use a Texas recycling programme for a television or computer
A household with a television or computer equipment looking for a manufacturer or brand programme instead of the curbside route.
Cost & conditions
The state programme pages list brand and manufacturer options and do not publish a price, so confirm the terms with whichever programme is being used.
Arrange it
Check the Texas Recycles TVs programme for a television or the Texas Recycles Computers programme for computer equipment, then confirm the drop-off terms with the brand or recycler before travelling.
The programmes are lists of opportunities rather than a single drop-off, and a projection television or a commercial load may not be covered, so confirm the device first.
Friendswood's own route is the weekly heavy pick up, which runs on the first garbage day of the week and carries furniture, mattresses, appliances, water heaters without water, computers and reasonably sized televisions, with carpet, swing sets and doors subject to cutting and weight conditions. A refrigerator or freezer only goes out after a licensed technician removes the Freon and tags the unit. Everything the city refuses, including construction material, tires, fencing, railroad ties, dirt, cast iron and chemicals, has to be handled privately, and hazardous waste and electronics-type material can be taken to the Stella Roberts facility in Pearland, where Friendswood residents pay a fee per pound and should call 281-489-2795 for the current schedule.

Regional drop-off for hazardous waste and electronics
Stella Roberts Recycling Facility
5800 Magnolia Parkway, Pearland, TX 77584
Household hazardous waste from Friendswood residents, including flammable and combustible liquids and solids, poisons, corrosives and acids and bases, oxidizers such as pool chemicals, lead acid batteries, batteries including nickel cadmium, lithium and mercury, motor oil and cooking oil, car fluids and latex and oil-based paint, plus electronics-type items such as computer keyboards, monitors and hard drives.
Friendswood residents pay a small fee per pound for hazardous waste and for electronics-type items, so the route is not free. The City publishes that fee basis and gives 281-489-2795 for the fee schedule, and the centre is operated by Keep Pearland Beautiful rather than the City of Pearland, so confirm the current fee on that number before loading the car.
Tuesday to Friday 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Saturday 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., with the centre operated by Keep Pearland Beautiful rather than the City of Pearland.
The city states only that Friendswood residents will pay a small fee per pound for hazardous waste and for electronics-type items, so confirm the current fee schedule on 281-489-2795.

If a device cannot be erased or contains sensitive business information, arrange suitable data handling before giving it away.

A television within a reasonable size and a computer go out with the weekly heavy pick up on the first garbage day, while a projection television is refused and has to use another route.
