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.

The city's Trash Off recycling event takes computers, printers, monitors, cables, drives, network gear, phones, toner cartridges and batteries.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes the accepted electronics list for the Trash Off event but no fee and only the announced event date, so confirm the next date and any charge before loading the vehicle.
When & how
Take the devices to the Trash Off collection on its announced date, which ran on April 11, 2026 from 9 AM to noon, or ask the hauler whether an item qualifies as weekly heavy trash.
Get it ready
Wipe stored data from computers, phones and drives, keep power supplies and cables with the device, and leave mercury containing devices such as fluorescent bulbs and thermostats at home because the event refuses them along with hazardous waste and motor oil.
One weekly collection, three routes and a written allowance
Katy residential collection runs once a week on a route colour: blue for Monday, red for Tuesday and yellow for Wednesday, with small commercial accounts served Tuesday and Friday and recycling and heavy trash for those accounts on Tuesday. Household waste goes in the cart near the kerb by 7 AM, recycling goes in loose and clean, and the household allowance covers up to three bulky items a week plus yard debris of 15 bags not over 35 pounds each and branch bundles under 40 pounds cut to 4 foot lengths, capped at 4 cubic yards a service day. The hauler observes New Year's Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day, collecting on the next day when a service falls on one of them.
The city excludes dirt, rocks, bricks, concrete, liquid paints, fuels, oils, tires, pesticides, fertilizer, batteries, pallets, construction debris and hazardous waste from collection and tells residents to ask the hauler for a solution. Two other routes cover part of that list. The Keep Katy Beautiful Trash Off recycling event takes electronics including televisions, appliances, scrap metal, paper, plastic bags and eyeglasses on its announced date, while refusing CRT monitors, mercury containing devices, tires, motor oil, paint, yard debris and hazardous waste. The city also lists Harris County Recycling, Fort Bend County Recycling, the Waller County Recycling Center and the regional recycling guide as drop-off options, and it describes a drying method for latex paint so that the hardened paint can go in the garbage and the can can be recycled.
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 City of Katy residential account that needs the weekly cart, recycling, up to three bulky items and yard debris collection.
Cost & conditions
$16.85 per month for the residential garbage, recycling, heavy trash and yard debris service under the rate effective September 1 2025, with extra carts at $2.09 per cart per month and small commercial accounts at $25.70 per month. Residential accounts inside the city limits of Katy, which are billed for the service through the city utility account; a Katy mailing address alone does not put an address inside the city, so the city asks prospective customers to check the residency map before applying.
Arrange it
Find the route colour and collection day for the address, put carts and bulky items out by 7 AM, and request extra carts or a smaller 65 gallon cart by email to the hauler, which delivers within a week and adds the charge to the water bill.
The service covers household waste, single stream recycling, up to three bulky items a week and yard debris inside the 15 bag and 4 cubic yard limits. Excluded material such as dirt, concrete, tires, batteries, pallets and construction debris is refused, and volumes beyond the allowance are quoted as a pay pile.
A household with electronics, an appliance, scrap metal, paper, clean plastic bags or eyeglasses to recycle on the city's community collection day.
Cost & conditions
The city publishes the Trash Off collection list and site but no fee and only the announced event date, so confirm the next date and any charge with the city at (281) 391-4800 before loading the vehicle.
Arrange it
Take the items to the Keep Katy Beautiful Trash Off collection on its announced date at the published site, which in 2026 ran on April 11 from 9 AM to noon at Katy's First Baptist Church.
A single announced event rather than a year round drop-off, with cardboard, plastic bottles, medical and biohazard waste, nuclear and radioactive waste, PCB material, mercury containing devices including fluorescent bulbs and thermostats, transformers, tires, hazardous waste, CRT monitors, motor oil, paint, yard debris and pallets all refused.
Use a county recycling or household hazardous waste drop-off
A household with recyclables, paint, oil, Freon items or tires that the city collection excludes and the Trash Off event does not cover.
Cost & conditions
The city links the county programmes rather than publishing their rates, and the Fort Bend centre states that fees must be paid by cash or check only, so confirm the accepted material and the charge with the relevant county before a trip.
Arrange it
The city's miscellaneous disposal page lists Harris County Recycling, Fort Bend County Recycling, the Waller County Recycling Center and the regional recycling guide; the Fort Bend County centre at 1200 Blume Road in Rosenberg is open Monday, Tuesday and Thursday to Saturday from 8 AM to 4 PM and closed Wednesdays and holidays.
County programmes serve their own residents, the Fort Bend centre is a recycling and household hazardous waste drop-off rather than a trash site, it refuses business, commercial and agricultural waste, and it accepts payment by cash or check only. The city also directs paint, oil, Freon and tire questions to Earth911.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Electronics removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Katy.
How much does electronics pickup cost in Katy?+
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 Katy?+
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 Katy computers and electronics go?+
To the Keep Katy Beautiful Trash Off recycling collection, which accepts computer systems, laptops, monitors, printers, scanners, plotters and copiers, keyboards, mice, speakers, cords, external drives and hard drives, circuit boards, network hubs, modems and routers, telephones and cellular phones with chargers, toner cartridges, CDs and DVDs, and batteries of many chemistries. The event refuses CRT monitors, mercury containing devices, motor oil, paint and hazardous waste.Official guidance
Who collects garbage in Katy?+
Texas Pride Disposal does, under a contract with the City of Katy for residents and small businesses. Residential collection is once a week on a route colour, blue for Monday, red for Tuesday and yellow for Wednesday, with household waste in the cart near the kerb by 7 AM and recycling loose and clean in the recycling cart. Customer service runs through the hauler at 281-342-8178 extension 102 or katy@texaspridedisposal.com, and the city states that a Katy mailing address does not by itself mean the address is inside the city limits.Official guidance
What will Katy not collect at the kerb?+
The city excludes dirt, rocks, bricks, concrete, liquid paints, fuels, oils, tires, pesticides, fertilizer, batteries, pallets, construction debris and hazardous waste, and it tells residents to contact the hauler for a disposal solution rather than setting the material out. A refrigerator or freezer is accepted only when it has been drained of Freon with a bill to prove the work was done, and large amounts of debris are handled as a pay pile that has to be quoted first.Official guidance
Where do Katy electronics and paint go?+
Electronics go to the Keep Katy Beautiful Trash Off recycling collection, which takes computers, laptops, monitors, televisions, printers, cables, drives, network equipment, phones, toner cartridges, batteries and more while refusing CRT monitors, mercury containing devices, motor oil, paint and hazardous waste. Latex paint does not need a special trip: the city's method is to dry the paint out with air or kitty litter, place the hardened paint in the garbage and recycle the can, and it directs oil based paint, oil, Freon and tire questions to Earth911 or to the county programmes it lists.Official guidance
