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.

Televisions and glass are refused in the bulky service and electronics are refused in the recycling cart, so the published route is the household hazardous waste collection event.
City cost & eligibility
Electronics are refused in the bulky pile and in the recycling cart, and the published route is the city household hazardous waste collection event on Saturday, October 24 at the Solid Waste Complex, which lists electronics as accepted and publishes fees only for tires, so confirm any charge or limit when you call 254-298-5000 before loading a television.
When & how
The household hazardous waste collection event runs Saturday, October 24 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at 2611 E. Ave. H, the Solid Waste Complex, with surrounding events listed by the Central Texas Council of Governments.
Get it ready
Wipe the drive or remove the storage before handover, keep the device out of the bulky pile and out of the recycling cart, and keep containers five gallons or less with no more than 15 gallons per customer because the event is a contactless drive through where containers are not returned.
The bulky service refuses construction, remodeling and demolition debris, rocks and dirt, hazardous materials, refrigerators and appliances, and glass including mirrors and televisions, so none of those belong in the pile. Piles over twelve cubic yards are also refused in favour of a roll off.
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 Temple Solid Waste Division with the Temple Landfill operated by Waste Management
Household hazardous waste collection event
A household with chemicals, batteries, electronics or tires that the curbside routes refuse.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Free to households at the collection event, with containers five gallons or less and a limit of 15 gallons per customer. Tires are the published exception: the first four tires 17 inches and under are free, then 5 dollars each at that size, 8 dollars each from 18 to 22.5 inches and 17 dollars each at 22.5 inches and above.
Arrange it
Drive to the Solid Waste Complex at 2611 E. Ave. H on Saturday, October 24 between 8 a.m. and 1 p.m., stay in the vehicle for the contactless drive through, and hand the material over without expecting the containers back.
Motor oil, cooking oil and water based paint are taken at the complex year round during business hours instead of waiting for the event, and electronics are accepted at the event but refused in the bulky pile and the recycling cart.
Temple keeps the household routes on the curb and puts the hard items on a calendar. A household schedules one brush pickup and one bulky item pickup a month through 254-298-5000 or ttxconnect.com, with the pile out by 7 a.m. on the Monday of the collection week and brush kept in a separate pile, and each pickup covers up to six cubic yards. Everything the bulky service refuses moves to the Solid Waste Complex at 2611 E. Ave. H: the city holds a household hazardous waste collection event there on Saturday, October 24 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. that takes electronics, chemicals, batteries and tires, with the first four tires 17 inches and under free and the larger or additional tires charged, and motor oil, cooking oil and water based paint are accepted there all year during business hours. Brush can also be dropped at the complex year round. General household cleanup can go to the Temple Landfill at 706 Landfill Road, where a resident with a current water utility bill showing the residential garbage rate gets one free dump a month for a pickup load or less, excluding mattresses and any remodeling, demolition, building or roofing material, with the load covered and tarped and a safety vest worn on site.

Solid Waste Complex drop off and event site
City of Temple Solid Waste Complex
2611 E. Ave. H, Temple, TX 76501
Brush year round, motor oil, cooking oil and water based paint year round during business hours, and the city's shred, bulky drop off and household hazardous waste events, including electronics and tires at the hazardous waste event.
The published pages do not list business hours for the complex and do not state a fee for a bulky drop off, so confirm what is accepted at the gate and whether anything is charged. Hazardous waste event containers must be five gallons or less, the total is limited to 15 gallons per customer and containers are not returned.
The hazardous waste, bulky drop off and shred events all run on published Saturdays, with the next being the bulky drop off on September 19 followed by the household hazardous waste event on October 24 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Call the Solid Waste Division at 254-298-5000 to confirm the complex hours and whether a drop off or event carries a charge, because the pages publish fees only for tires at the collection event.

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.
