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.

McKinney has no e-waste drop off. The city collects electronics at the curb on a scheduled appointment, up to twelve pickups a year at no additional charge, with the load in labeled boxes and one television or monitor allowed per pickup.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Up to 12 e-waste pickups a calendar year are included at no additional charge for residents inside the McKinney city limits with a water billing account in good standing, limited to one request a week, with rentals and commercial addresses excluded and anything beyond the limits treated as commercial waste. The city states plainly that it does not offer e-waste drop off services.
When & how
Request the pickup before noon on the business day before the collection day, then put the boxes at the collection point by 7 a.m. on the appointment date, at least three feet from the carts.
Get it ready
Put smaller items in a cardboard box labeled E-Waste, keep to two boxes no larger than 20 inches by 20 inches by 20 inches with a 50 pound limit each, do not stack boxes, and set out no more than one television or monitor per pickup, which does not have to be boxed. Unlabeled boxes and unapproved items are refused, and boxes are not returned.
Trash, recycling and yard waste go out on the same weekly collection day. Carts go to the curb by 7 a.m. and may be set out from 6 p.m. the day before, at least three feet from the other containers and from bulky material, mailboxes, vehicles, meters, poles and fences, with the serial number facing the street and the handle toward the house. Recycling stays loose and clean with the lid closed and cardboard broken down, and an overloaded cart is not collected.
Household hazardous waste and e-waste are collected at the curb on a scheduled appointment as well, up to twelve of each a year, in up to two cardboard boxes no larger than twenty inches on each side with a fifty pound limit per box. Boxes have to be labeled HHW or E-Waste, every container has to show its contents, one television or monitor is allowed per e-waste pickup, and nothing is taken to the city facility in person.
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.
