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.

Cost & conditions

Arrange it
Bring the items to 91 New Street on a weekday between 6 a.m. and 5 p.m., and call the Solid Waste Department at 423-975-2792 with any question.
The drop-off covers the electronic items the City lists and small quantities of used oil in screw-top plastic bottles of one gallon or less. Building material, carpet and bulky furniture are not part of this route.
Johnson City households haul electronics and small quantities of used oil to the Solid Waste Services Complex at 91 New Street on weekdays, and bulky furniture and appliances are scheduled with the Street Division on 423-975-2700 rather than dropped off. Building material, carpet and other heavy loads are not a city service, so the load goes to the Washington County Convenience Center on 423-753-1652 or the Iris Glen Environmental Center on 423-926-8375, and the City refers to the same sites for overflow and for items that are the household's own responsibility.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Electronics removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Johnson City.
How much does electronics pickup cost in Johnson City?+
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 Johnson City?+
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 can I recycle electronics in Johnson City?+
Take computers, monitors, cell phones, laptops, radios, printers and lamps to the E-Waste receptacle at 91 New Street, which accepts them on normal business days from Monday to Friday between 6 a.m. and 5 p.m. Wipe personal data first, and call the Solid Waste Department on 423-975-2792 if you are unsure whether an item is accepted.Official guidance
What does it cost to remove a large item in Johnson City?+
Solid Waste billing is set up with water service, so household garbage appears on that account, and an additional cart is bought outright with a yearly decal rather than rented. Furniture and appliance pickups are scheduled by phone with the Street Division, which quotes the arrangement, and the county sites that take building material and overflow set their own rates.Official guidance
Who handles Johnson City waste and where is the county involved?+
Johnson City collects household garbage, recycling and brush with its own crews, with the cart, recycling drop-offs and electronics handled by Solid Waste Services on 423-975-2792 and furniture, appliance and brush work handled by the Street Department on 423-975-2700. Washington County operates the wider disposal sites, which is why building material and overflow loads are referred to the county convenience center and the Iris Glen Environmental Center.Official guidance
Where can I take something the city cart will not collect?+
Electronics go to the E-Waste receptacle at 91 New Street on weekdays, and furniture or appliances are scheduled with the Street Division rather than dropped off. Building material, carpet and overflow that is the household's own responsibility go to the Washington County Convenience Center or the Iris Glen Environmental Center, and loose scrap metal has no published city route, so call 423-975-2700 with a description before moving it.Official guidance
