The old setup can go
You’ve moved on. Your old electronics haven’t.

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.

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.

Computers, monitors and small devices are collected at the free-standing computer recycling events the city joins five times a year, and flat screen monitors, desktop and laptop computers and CPUs are also excluded from the coupon requirement at the James City County convenience centres, so those three can be dropped off free during the centres' published hours.
City cost & eligibility
No fee is published for the computer recycling events, so confirm the accepted items and the current arrangements with Public Works on 757-220-6140 or the authority on 757-259-9850.
When & how
Take the equipment to Warhill High School at 4615 Opportunity Way on the second Saturday of February, April, June, August or October between 8 a.m. and noon, or drop a flat screen monitor, desktop computer, laptop or CPU at a James City County convenience centre at no charge during its published hours.
Get it ready
Accepted computer items are desktop and laptop computers, servers, LCD and CRT monitors, computer wiring, desktop printers including multi function units, fax machines, desktop photocopiers and scanners and cell phones. Hard drive data is wiped to a triple pass or physically destroyed, but remove obvious personal material first. Televisions, alkaline batteries, medications and explosives are not accepted at these events.
Yard debris rides the garbage collection day in bags or bundles, and other large household items go through the three times a year bulk appointment.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no rate for the bulk collection or the yard debris service, so confirm the current terms with Public Works on 757-220-6140.
When & how
Yard debris goes out on the garbage collection day without an appointment. Large household items need the bulk appointment booked by noon on the Thursday before the collection day.
Get it ready
Yard debris is limited to ten bags of leaves or grass clippings or ten bundles of sticks and limbs, tied with twine or boxed, with sticks under four feet long and under three inches in diameter, and loose piles are not collected. Keep the bulk pile inside the two item limit and clear of anything the city refuses.
The garbage and recycling carts go to the curb before 7 a.m. on the collection day, or the evening before, with the lids facing the street, and come back in after collection. Carts stay three feet apart and five feet from vehicles, trees, mailboxes, poles and fences, and go side by side rather than front to back.
Household bulk collection is by appointment only. The request has to be in by noon on the Thursday before the collection day, items go to the curb before 7 a.m. on that day, and each household is allowed two large items per collection and three collections a year.
Collection is automated and the crew does not leave the truck, so all garbage has to be inside the city cart. Items left beside the cart, including bagged extra garbage, are not collected.
Paint, cleaning solutions, kerosene and computer equipment are collected at the household chemical and computer recycling events, held on the second Saturday of February, April, June, August and October from 8 a.m. to noon at Warhill High School, 4615 Opportunity Way. Televisions, alkaline batteries, medications, explosives and business waste are not accepted there.
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.
