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.

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, computers, monitors, laptops, cell phones and tablets are banned from the garbage and refused at King County transfer stations, so screens and computers go to E-Cycle Washington for free while small electronics can ride the Recology special item program.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Washington households, small businesses, charities, school districts and small governments using an E-Cycle Washington collection site, which recycles televisions, computers, laptops and monitors free under the state manufacturer program. Printers, keyboards, mice, toner cartridges and cell phones are free at Best Buy and Staples instead, and other electronics outside the program carry a fee.
When & how
Find an E-Cycle collection site by address or call 1-800-732-9253, or use the Recology special item recycling program for a small appliance or electronic item that measures two feet or less on each side and weighs under sixty pounds, placed on or beside the blue recycling cart on collection day.
Get it ready
Wipe your data or remove the drive before a computer leaves the house, keep televisions and computers out of both carts and out of the transfer station load, and check the size and weight before relying on the curbside special item program, which takes only two small items per pickup.
Bulky items and special items are booked, not left
A couch, mattress, appliance or other large item needs an on-call bulky collection booked with Recology on 206-763-4444 or online, and the item goes to the same place where the carts are collected on the confirmed day, with the doors removed from a refrigerator or freezer. Special item recycling is requested by the bill payer and goes on top of or beside the blue recycling cart on collection day, with limits of three bags of textiles, two small appliances or electronics, two fluorescent tubes or bulbs per collection, half a gallon of batteries, and three gallons of motor or cooking oil for each type.
King County has barred computers, monitors, televisions and cell phones from the garbage and from its transfer stations since 2005, and the Shoreline station follows that rule. E-Cycle Washington recycles televisions, computers, laptops and monitors free for households and small organizations, with printers, keyboards, mice, toner cartridges and cell phones free at Best Buy and Staples, and small appliances and electronics of two feet or less per side and under sixty pounds can ride the Recology special item program instead.
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.
