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.

You’re in the loop. Until it’s gone.
Confirmation when you book. A heads-up before arrival. Photos when it’s done.
Computers are scheduled through the sanitation department, while televisions sit on both the accepted and the refused Frontier bulk lists, so the route needs a confirmation call.
City cost & eligibility
No fee is published for the computer pickup, and the Frontier page lists televisions as accepted bulk while listing electronics and e-waste as refused on the same page, so call the sanitation department at 713-475-7884 to arrange the pickup and confirm how a television and a computer are handled for the address.
When & how
Computer and household hazardous waste pickups are booked by appointment with the sanitation department at 713-475-7884, and the Frontier bulk collection runs every two weeks by assigned service week.
Get it ready
Wipe the drive or remove the storage before handover, keep electronics out of the recycling cart, where the Frontier list refuses electronics, light bulbs and garden hoses, and do not put a device in the garbage cart.
Appliances, tires, computers and chemicals are scheduled, not curbside bulk
White goods and appliances, tires, e-waste and household hazardous waste are all refused in the curbside bulk service, so they are booked as pickups with the sanitation department at 713-475-7884, with hazardous material limited to ten gallons or fifty pounds per collection.
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 Pasadena Sanitation Division with Frontier Waste Solutions and the Pasadena municipal landfill
Scheduled appliance, tire, computer and chemical pickup
A household with an appliance, tires, a computer or household chemicals that the curbside bulk service refuses.
Cost & conditions
No per item rate is published for these pickups, so call the sanitation department at 713-475-7884 to book the collection and confirm any charge and the limits, including the ten gallon or fifty pound cap on hazardous material.
Arrange it
Call 713-475-7884 during the weekday office hours, which run from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. with lunch closed from noon to 1 p.m., and describe the appliance, tires, computer or chemicals so the pickup is booked correctly.
Hazardous waste is limited to ten gallons or fifty pounds per collection and refuses acids, ammunition, medical waste, explosives, fireworks, gasoline, kerosene, photographic chemicals, smoke detectors and business material, and any product in an old, leaking or rusted container is identified at collection and may be treated as general waste.
Pasadena households can haul their own residential load to the municipal landfill at 550 Old Genoa-Red Bluff Road in Houston, which takes one load of up to two cubic yards a month free for a resident who brings a valid Texas driver licence and a current original Pasadena water bill with a matching address, no copies, with the load no higher than the top of a pickup truck frame and covered by a tarp, because an uncovered load costs ten dollars more. Anything over two cubic yards starts at a 140 dollar minimum charge, commercial refuse is not allowed under the residential allowance, the privilege expires 20 days from the water bill due date, and access requires an OSHA hard hat and safety vest that can be bought at the landfill. The landfill is open Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and Saturday from 7 to 10:30 a.m. For anything that should not be hauled, the city sanitation department schedules appliance, tire, computer and household hazardous waste pickups at 713-475-7884, with household chemicals limited to ten gallons or fifty pounds per collection.

How much does electronics pickup cost in Pasadena?+
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 Pasadena?+
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 Pasadena computers and televisions go?+
Call the sanitation department at 713-475-7884 to make an appointment for a computer or household hazardous waste pickup, which the city recycling page sets out. Televisions are named on the Frontier accepted bulk list but electronics and e-waste are refused on the same page, so confirm the television when the appointment is booked.Official guidance
What belongs in the recycling cart?+
Aluminium and steel cans, glass bottles and jars, cardboard and boxboard, newspapers, magazines, catalogs, phone books, junk mail and office paper, and plastic bottles and jugs labelled 1 and 2 with caps, placed loose rather than bagged. Plastic bags and packaging, styrofoam, food waste and liquids, yard waste, clothing, carpet and textiles, electronics, light bulbs, garden hoses, metal cookware, ceramics, dishes, mirrors and window glass are refused.Official guidance
