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.

Electronics are named in the city's bulky waste definition, and Connecticut law also requires the town to collect computers, televisions, monitors and printers without charging a fee for those four categories.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. An electronic item can ride the free bulky allowance of two pickups per unit a year with five items or fewer, and the MDC packet records that towns cannot charge a fee for recycling computers, televisions, monitors and printers although they may charge for other electronics. Retail and recycler options are also available at their own terms.
When & how
Schedule a bulky pickup with Hartford 311 at 860-757-9311 or Public Works at 860-757-9983, or use a town or retail electronics program, which includes Green Monster e-cycling at 150 Brook Street in West Hartford on 860-231-1426, Staples for computers, monitors, laptops, printers, faxes and all in ones, and Best Buy with a limit of three items per day.
Get it ready
Keep electronics out of the recycling and trash bins unless a local program says otherwise, and note that the Metropolitan District's hazardous waste collections do not take electronics at all, so a television or computer has to use the bulky route, the town program or a retailer. Wipe personal data before a computer leaves your hands.
Schedule the bulky pickup before anything goes to the curb
Bulky items have to be scheduled first through Hartford 311 at 860-757-9311 or Public Works at 860-757-9983, with the item list given on the call. The pile goes out after 4 p.m. the night before the appointment or before 7 a.m. on the collection date, stays out of roadways and off sidewalks, and holds no more than five items. Setting bulk items out without a scheduled pickup carries a 99.00 fine.
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.
City of Hartford Department of Public Works Waste and Recycling Division, with the Metropolitan District running household hazardous waste collections
Schedule a city bulky waste collection
A one to six unit non commercial property with appliances, electronics, tires, furniture, mattresses, small bundles of branches or other large items to clear.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Two free pickups per unit a year, each covering five items or fewer, on a one to six unit non commercial property, so a one family home has two free pickups and a six family home twelve. An extra collection beyond the allowance costs 75.00, a 10.00 permit covers up to four transfer station visits, and an unscheduled curbside pile carries a 99.00 fine.
Arrange it
Call Hartford 311 at 860-757-9311 or Public Works at 860-757-9983, give the item list, take the next available collection date, and put the items out after 4 p.m. the night before or before 7 a.m. on that date.
Five items per collection and only the items listed on the call, so an unlisted item is left behind. Hazardous and toxic material is not bulky waste, a commercial property, apartment complex or building over six units is not eligible, and a refrigerant appliance needs a confirmation first.

Electronics removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Hartford.
How much does electronics pickup cost in Hartford?+
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 Hartford?+
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.
Where do televisions and computers go in Hartford?+
They can go on a scheduled Hartford bulky pickup, because electronics are named in the city's bulky waste definition, and they can also go through the town electronics program or a retailer such as Staples or Best Buy. Connecticut law requires towns to collect computers, televisions, monitors and printers and forbids a fee for those four categories, and the MDC hazardous waste collections do not take electronics at all.Official guidance
Is there an electronics recycler near Hartford?+
The MDC information packet names Green Monster e-cycling at 150 Brook Street in West Hartford on 860-231-1426, manufacturer take back programs, Staples, which takes computers, monitors, laptops, printers, faxes and all in ones, and Best Buy, which accepts many types of electronics but only three items per day.Official guidance
Who collects trash in Hartford?+
The city's Department of Public Works Waste and Recycling Division, for single family homes, multifamily buildings of six units or less and condo associations of six units or less. Hartford 311 answers service questions at 860-757-9311 Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and bulky collections are scheduled through 311 or Public Works at 860-757-9983.Official guidance
What does a bulky waste pickup cost in Hartford?+
Two pickups per unit a calendar year are free, each covering five items or fewer, on a one to six unit non commercial property, so a two family home gets four free pickups and a six family home gets twelve. Beyond that, an additional collection costs 75.00, a 10.00 permit covers up to four transfer station visits, and an unscheduled curbside pile carries a 99.00 fine.Official guidance
Where do paint and chemicals go in Hartford?+
To a Metropolitan District household hazardous waste collection, which Hartford residents may attend in any participating town. Hartford's own collection is Saturday, October 24, 2026 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the MDC Operations Facility, 125 Maxim Road, and the regional schedule runs Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. through the year with one Sunday collection on May 17, 2026. Identification is checked and the driver stays in the vehicle while the contractor unloads.Official guidance
Where do electronics go in Hartford?+
Electronics are named in the city's bulky waste definition, so a television or computer can go on a scheduled bulky pickup inside the free allowance, and Connecticut law requires towns to collect computers, televisions, monitors and printers without a fee for those four categories. The MDC packet also lists Green Monster e-cycling in West Hartford, Staples and Best Buy, while the hazardous waste collections take no electronics at all.Official guidance
What happens to leaves and yard waste?+
The city runs a Leaf Collection Program so residents can dispose of fallen leaves before the first heavy snowfall, following the zone schedule posted with the program, and it publishes a summer yard collection sheet as well. Small bundles of tree branches are also named as bulky waste, so branches can go on a scheduled bulky pickup.Official guidance
What if I live in a building with more than six units?+
The city does not collect from commercial property, an apartment complex or a multifamily building with more than six units, and those properties are told to contact their management company or landlord. The bulky waste allowance is written for one to six unit non commercial properties, so a larger building has to arrange disposal privately.Official guidance
