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.

Electronics have no curbside route and must never go in either bin. The regional authority handles them through special collection events, where fees apply to some items, so the household checks the authority's calendar rather than leaving a device at the curb.
City cost & eligibility
No city page kept here publishes a television or computer route or price. The authority states that electronics must never go in curbside or drop off recycling, that it runs special e-cycling collections rather than a standing service, and that fees apply to some items, so check the authority's events calendar or call the city's 311 line to confirm the next event and its charges before the device leaves the house.
When & how
Watch the authority's events calendar for the next electronics collection and bring the device then. Nothing about this route belongs on the trash day or the recycling week, and the device is not part of the bi-weekly bulk round.
Get it ready
Keep electronics out of the supercan and out of the recycling bin, wipe personal data from a computer, phone or drive before handover, and check whether the item is one the authority charges for before loading the car.
Construction debris, carpet, paint and tanks never ride the bulk round
The prohibited list for bulk and brush covers construction debris, tires without rims, carpet, auto parts, bricks, drywall, pipes, paint, gas tanks, propane tanks and lawn mowers. The self haul gates add their own boundary, refusing commercial or contractor debris and refusing dirt, rocks and concrete, and they accept brush and yard waste only if it is natural wood with no plywood or treated wood.
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 Richmond Department of Public Works Solid Waste Division with the Central Virginia Waste Management Authority
Take electronics to an authority collection event
A household with a television, computer, monitor, printer or another electronic device that has to leave the house.
Cost & conditions
The authority states that fees apply to some items and that collections run as special events rather than a standing service, so check the events calendar or call 311 to confirm the next event and what it charges for the device before going.
Arrange it
Watch the Central Virginia Waste Management Authority events calendar for the next electronics collection and bring the device then. The city of Richmond is one of the localities the authority lists for these events.
There is no curbside or drop off route for electronics, and the authority states plainly that devices must never go in curbside or drop off recycling, so nothing electronic belongs in the supercan, the recycling bin or the bulk pile while the household waits for an event.

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 televisions and computers go in Richmond?+
To a Central Virginia Waste Management Authority electronics collection event, not to the curb. The authority states that electronics must never be placed in curbside or drop off recycling, that collections run as special events that localities host with the authority, and that fees apply to some items, so check the events calendar and confirm the next date and any charge.Official guidance
