Check the site before you travel
Use the participating-site locator and call the specific location first. Confirm that it accepts your CRT or flat-screen monitor, its size and condition, and household drop-offs. Do not assume every Goodwill location accepts the same electronics.
If you use a retailer recycling program instead, check its current monitor fees, size limits and state-specific exceptions before going to the store.
If the monitor still works, compare computer-monitor donation requirements before recycling it.

Prepare the monitor
Keep a separate monitor and desktop tower listed as separate items. If you are also handing over a computer or a smart display that stores accounts or personal information, follow its manufacturer’s data-removal instructions first.
If you are also handing over a computer, follow the computer-wiping checklist.

When outdoor pickup fits
If free drop-off options are unsuitable and your separate computer monitor is an accepted item, Dropcurb handles loading, transportation and disposal from an accessible outdoor location. You can book before moving it, but the monitor must be outside and accessible before pickup; indoor carry-out is not available. Check your item price and available pickup dates before deciding.
