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, monitors, computers and phones are kept out of the carts and out of the landfill, and CR&R collects them at the curb as a charged pickup.
City cost & eligibility
Electronic waste is not allowed in the carts and cannot go to the landfill. The hauler collects televisions, monitors, computers, phones and appliances holding Freon at the curb for a charge, and the City publishes no single electronic waste rate, so confirm the amount with CR&R at 909-370-3377 when the pickup is arranged. Electronic waste also goes out with the free county household hazardous waste route at no cost.
When & how
Call CR&R at 909-370-3377 to arrange the curbside pickup, or use the hauler's online scheduling service. Household batteries, paint, chemicals and other hazardous items go to a San Bernardino County household hazardous waste site instead of the curb, and electronic waste is also accepted at the quarterly community dump day.
Get it ready
Keep electronics out of all three carts and off a bulky pile, and wipe personal data from a computer, phone or drive before it leaves the property. Take batteries out of the device and route them to a hazardous waste site rather than the green or blue cart.
A bulky pickup is an appointment, not an open curb pile
Call CR&R at 909-370-3377 to book the pickup on the regular collection day. The agreement gives the hauler seven days from the request to collect and requires the household to be told the specific day in advance, so nothing goes to the curb until that day is confirmed.
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.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Electronics removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Colton.
How much does electronics pickup cost in Colton?+
A computer monitor is $79 as the first item and $19 as an additional item. Choose the actual devices and quantities to see your combined price online. A separate desktop tower and monitor are separate items. Loading, transportation and disposal are included; review the total and any applicable tax before payment.
Can you pick up old electronics today in Colton?+
Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup. Choose from the dates shown at checkout and have the prepared items outside according to your confirmation. 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.
Can a television be picked up at the curb?+
Yes, as a charged curbside collection. CR&R collects electronic waste such as a television, monitor, computer or phone from the residence, and the City keeps electronics out of the carts and out of the landfill because of the lead and chemicals they contain. Call 909-370-3377 to arrange it.Official guidance
Where do batteries, paint and chemicals go?+
They are household hazardous waste and cannot go in any cart or in a bulky pile. Colton residents can take them at no cost to the San Bernardino County Fire household hazardous waste program at 2824 East W Street, Building 302, in San Bernardino, or to the Rialto maintenance yard at 246 S. Willow Avenue on the second and fourth Friday and Saturday from 8 a.m. to noon.Official guidance

Where can I take old tires?+
Community dump days accept up to four noncommercial tires without rims per event, and the City lists tires as outside the bulky item pickup. A full set from a shop or any larger tire load needs a container or another arrangement rather than a curb pile.Official guidance
Where can I drop off used sharps?+
Home generated sharps are accepted free at the Hutton Center, 660 Colton Avenue, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., and at the Luque Center, 292 East O Street, Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. The container has to be one gallon or smaller and puncture proof.Official guidance
