Does Fresno pick up electronics?
Operation Clean Up serves Fresno's 550,105 residents with just one pickup per year, scheduled by the city's predetermined dates. One annual pickup for over half a million people creates obvious capacity issues.
City program details: Operation Clean Up. Frequency: once per year. Wait: varies by scheduled date. Fees: free (included in utility service)
Without regular city service, residents self-haul to Cedar Avenue Recycling and Transfer Station (CARTS) at $30-60 per load, or call 1-800-GOT-JUNK starting at $150+. Most Tower District and Fig Garden Village residents accumulate bulk items all year for Operation Clean Up.
Dropcurb picks up electronics same-day in Fresno for $99 flat — no wait, no annual limits, no restrictions.
Operation Clean Up happens once per year. That's it.
One annual pickup means everything else is your problem for the other 364 days. When your couch breaks in February but city pickup isn't until October, that's eight months of storage.

What happens to your electronics after pickup
Electronics are recycled at R2- or e-Stewards-certified e-waste facilities. Devices are disassembled and sorted: circuit boards are processed for gold, silver, copper, and palladium recovery. Screens are separated for glass and lead processing. Plastics are shredded and recycled. Hard drives, SSDs, and other storage media are physically destroyed (shredded or degaussed) to ensure complete data destruction — no data leaves the facility intact. The $20 e-waste recycling fee covers the cost of certified handling and hazardous material processing.
Why Fresno residents choose Dropcurb for electronics removal
$79 for same-day pickup vs waiting until next year's Operation Clean Up. CARTS costs about the same but requires truck rental and your day at the transfer station.
