Old computer, spare monitor, printer that’s ready to go, gone from the curb. Choose your electronics, see the exact price and book by 2pm for same-day pickup.
Keep the setup you use. Clear out the one you don’t.
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.

The city bulk page says electronics will not be accepted while the pricing sheet prints item prices for electronic waste and televisions, and a free electronics event runs once a year with registration.
City cost & eligibility
The city bulk page states that electronics will not be accepted, while the pricing sheet prints 5.00 for electronic waste other than televisions, 10.00 for a flat screen television, 15.00 for a tube television and 25.00 for a broken or wooden television, and the city also holds one electronics recycling event a year with registration, so call 518-270-4579 and confirm which route applies.
When & how
Call 518-270-4579 to ask whether the device can go out as a scheduled bulk item, or register for the annual electronics recycling event, whose next date the city lists as to be announced.
Get it ready
Keep electronics out of the garbage, because New York State makes it illegal to put electronic waste in the trash, back up or erase personal data before handover, and keep televisions and devices separate from the garbage container.
Every bulk pickup has to be booked with Public Works at 518-270-4579 or through the online request, items cannot go out until after 6 p.m. the night before the confirmed pickup date, and an unscheduled or early set out draws a removal charge and a littering penalty under city code.
Household hazardous waste, batteries, used oil and filters, medical waste, industrial waste, sludge and gas, kerosene and fuel oil ashes are refused in the bulk program, and commercial rental properties, tax exempt properties and not for profit agencies cannot use the city bulk service at all and have to use a private contractor.
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.
