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.

Pennsylvania bans televisions and computer devices from the waste stream, and Cumberland County runs an electronics recycling center in Carlisle where a household pays by the pound for acceptable devices.
City cost & eligibility
$0.5 per pound of acceptable electronics, which is the county's published rate at the electronics recycling center. A Cumberland County household bringing an acceptable item to the electronics recycling center at 1001 Claremont Road in Carlisle on 717.240.6489.
When & how
The center opens Tuesdays and Wednesdays from noon to 4 p.m. and on the second and fourth Saturday of each month from 8 a.m. to noon, and it closes on county holidays.
Get it ready
Bring a television whole and intact in its original casing, because the county does not accept a disassembled one, and keep electronics out of the refuse and recycling containers because state law bans them from waste disposal. Check the county's acceptable and unacceptable item list before the trip so the load is priced at the per pound rate.
Take televisions and computer devices to the Cumberland County electronics recycling center at 1001 Claremont Road in Carlisle on 717.240.6489, where the charge is fifty cents a pound for acceptable items. The center opens Tuesdays and Wednesdays from noon to 4 p.m. and on the second and fourth Saturday of each month from 8 a.m. to noon, it closes on county holidays, and a television has to arrive whole and intact in its original casing because a disassembled set is not accepted.
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.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Electronics removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Mechanicsburg.
How much does electronics pickup cost in Mechanicsburg?+
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 Mechanicsburg?+
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 Mechanicsburg?+
To the Cumberland County electronics recycling center at 1001 Claremont Road in Carlisle, because state law bans televisions and computer devices from waste disposal. The charge is fifty cents a pound for acceptable items, a television has to arrive whole and intact in its original casing because a disassembled set is refused, and the center opens Tuesdays and Wednesdays from noon to 4 p.m. and on the second and fourth Saturday of each month from 8 a.m. to noon, closing on county holidays.Official guidance
What does waste service cost in Mechanicsburg?+
The borough bills the regular refuse collection at three hundred seventy-two dollars a year for two hundred and eight bags, and the orange bag option at one hundred fifty-six dollars a year for sixteen bags with each additional bag at nine dollars and seventy-five cents. The hauler publishes no per item charge for a large item, so that answer is confirmed with Penn Waste on 717-767-4456, and electronics are charged by the pound at the Cumberland County center rather than by the item.Official guidance
What will Mechanicsburg not collect?+
Wood ashes, dead animals, tree trunks, leaves, stumps, roots, concrete, construction debris and dangerous material are all excluded from the borough's refuse collection, and the hauler does not collect construction debris curbside or a large item too heavy for two people to lift. Televisions and computer devices cannot go in the waste stream at all because state law bans them, so they go to the Cumberland County electronics recycling center instead.Official guidance
Who handles garbage and disposal in Mechanicsburg?+
Penn Waste collects curbside refuse and recycling under the borough's contract and answers service questions on 717-767-4456, from 36 West Allen Street in Mechanicsburg. The borough office at 717-691-3310 handles billing, the orange bag option and yard waste questions, and Cumberland County runs the electronics recycling center on 717.240.6489.Official guidance
