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.

Residential electronics go to the permanent drop-off at the Recovery Operations Center, and everything except CRT televisions and monitors can also go to Goodwill.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no electronics fee for the drop-off, so confirm the item and any charge with the Solid Waste Division on 757-933-2311 before travelling.
When & how
Take the device to the Recovery Operations Center at 520 Atkinson Blvd., open Monday through Saturday from 8 AM to 4 PM, where electronics are accepted daily.
Get it ready
Keep electronics out of the green cart and the recycling cart, because the recycling programme refuses them. Erase personal data before handover, and remember that only non CRT electronic waste can go to the Goodwill stores, so a tube television or monitor has to go to the Recovery Operations Center.
Hazardous waste runs on four events, and paint and electronics do not
Household hazardous waste is collected four times a year with a limit of 75 pounds of solids and 5 gallons of liquids per household per event, and every container has to carry its original label. Asbestos, unknown material, PCBs, garbage mixed with chemicals, business or medical waste, explosives, compressed gas cylinders and mercury are refused. Latex paint, up to 5 gallons a week, and electronics are taken daily from Monday to Saturday at the Recovery Operations Center instead of at those events.
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.
