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.

Large electronics are accepted as bulky items: the city names televisions and computer monitors on its accepted list, so a screen leaves on a BABIC request at no additional cost. Smaller electronics fall under the 50 pound rule and ride the regular refuse, and the city's own electronics page links to outside recyclers rather than running a municipal programme.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Richardson residents requesting a bulky collection for a large television or monitor from their own property, within the suggested eight requests a year. The city's electronics page directs residents to Best Buy, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, Time to Recycle and Earth911 for additional options, each of which sets its own terms.
When & how
Request the bulky collection for a large screen on 972-744-4111 or online, and note that the transfer station on Lookout Drive does not accept electronics at all.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data before handover, keep the device off the sidewalk and clear of the cart, and check the outside recyclers the city lists if you would rather not wait for a bulky day.
BABIC is a service provided by request, so the pile does not move until the request is made through the online form or 972-744-4111. Material goes out before midnight on the night before the designated collection day, the city asks residents to limit themselves to about eight requests a year, and a route shown as delayed on the service page usually runs the following day, including Saturday. If a scheduled pile is missed in error, the 24 hour response centre is the same number.
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 Richardson household with a couch, mattress, large appliance, television or monitor, or another bulky item over 50 pounds.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Richardson residents, for material generated on their own property, with the city stating that bulky item collection is provided at no additional cost and asking residents to limit requests to about eight calls a year.
Arrange it
Request the pickup online or on 972-744-4111, then put the material at the curbside right-of-way before midnight on the night before the designated collection day and check the service delay page.
Construction and remodeling debris, roofing, tile and laminate flooring, hazardous waste, buildings and sheds, concrete, asphalt, bricks, rocks, dirt, sand, sod, railroad ties, ceramic tile, glass and window frames, compressed gas cylinders and vehicle parts including tires are all refused.
A household that would rather recycle a television, monitor or other device directly than wait for a bulky collection.
Cost & conditions
The city's electronics page links to Best Buy, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, Time to Recycle and Earth911 without publishing any price, and each of those sets its own terms, so confirm acceptance and any fee with the receiver.
Arrange it
Pick a receiver from the city's list, confirm that it takes the device, and deliver it during that receiver's hours.
These are outside programmes rather than city services, and the city's own bulky route remains the free option for a large television or monitor.
Richardson residents have three routes, and the 50 pound line decides which one applies. Anything under 50 pounds goes out with the twice weekly refuse collection at the normal pickup point, using the city's refuse bags. Anything over 50 pounds goes to the curbside right-of-way, and if it is bulky, such as furniture, a mattress and box springs, a large appliance or a large television or monitor, it has to be requested as a Brush and Bulky Item Collection on 972-744-4111 or through the online form and left out before midnight on the night before the designated day, at no additional cost and within the city's suggested limit of about eight requests a year. Residents can also drive regular trash to the NTMWD Lookout Transfer Station at 1601 E. Lookout Drive, Monday to Saturday 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., with a driver's licence and current water bill, but that site refuses hazardous waste and electronics and brush goes to the Custer Transfer Station in Plano instead. Construction and demolition debris is outside all of this: the ordinance leaves it to city-permitted haulers who contract with the resident and bill them directly, and the bulky service refuses it along with tires, concrete, glass and hazardous material.

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 does a Richardson television go?+
On a requested bulky collection, because televisions and computer monitors are named as accepted large electronics. The service costs nothing extra for residents. The transfer station does not accept electronics, and the city's electronics page points to Best Buy, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, Time to Recycle and Earth911 for other options.Official guidance

Where do paint and chemicals go in Richardson?+
Never in the regular trash.
