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.

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.

Electronic waste stays out of the carts and goes to the Novato hazardous waste facility or to the free city electronic waste pickup.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Novato residents: the district lists fees only for eligible businesses at its facility, Zero Waste Marin describes the county's household hazardous waste programs as free for residents, and the Conservation Corps pickup is published as a free residential service.
When & how
Drop the material at the Novato facility at 7576 Redwood Blvd on a public collection day, which needs no appointment and falls on two Sundays and two Mondays a month, or book the free Conservation Corps electronic waste pickup that runs Mondays and Thursdays except holidays.
Get it ready
Keep electronics out of the carts and out of the bulky pile, because the hauler refuses televisions and monitors there. Wipe stored data before pickup and keep batteries separate from the device.
The bulky collection refuses liquids, dirt, rock, concrete, asphalt, hazardous or infectious waste, ashes, televisions, monitors and anything longer than six feet, and televisions and monitors are treated as hazardous waste instead. Batteries, paint, motor oil, sharps and electronic waste go to the Novato Household Hazardous Waste Facility at 7576 Redwood Blvd on a public collection day, where residents need no appointment, and household batteries can also go in a sealed clear bag on top of the blue recycling cart on collection day.
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.

Can you pick up old electronics today in Novato?+
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.

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.
Is there a free electronics pickup in Novato?+
Yes. The Conservation Corps of the North Bay provides free pickup of residential electronic waste every Monday and Thursday except holidays for Novato residents, with the material recycled by a certified California electronic waste recycler.
