Does Highland pick up electronics?

Same-day junk removal in Highland starts at $79 with Dropcurb. In a city of about 56,999 people in San Bernardino County, residents often need faster options than municipal scheduling allows, especially during move-outs, remodels, and HOA deadline cleanups in East Highlands Ranch. Book online in 60 seconds, leave items curbside, and a local hauler can pick up the same day.

City program details: Highland contracts with Burrtec and requires weekly refuse service. Residents get four free bulky-item pickups per year, up to five items per pickup, with overages billed per item and extra trip charges.

Highland requires trash service every seven days through Burrtec and offers four free bulky pickups per year with limits of five items per collection, then overage and trip charges apply. The city also directs hazardous waste to county HHW facilities instead of curb pickup, which adds extra logistics. In HOA-heavy neighborhoods like East Highlands Ranch and newer subdivisions, those rules can leave residents stuck when they need immediate removal before inspections or move deadlines.

Dropcurb picks up electronics same-day in Highland for $99 flat — no wait, no annual limits, no restrictions.

Four city bulky pickups per year do not solve urgent cleanouts.

Highland has a municipal program, but annual pickup limits and item caps create bottlenecks for residents handling moves, remodel debris, or HOA notices. When timing matters, waiting for the next available city slot can be more expensive than booking a guaranteed curbside pickup immediately.

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.
