Neither the City nor the County will pick up electronic waste in traditional pick-up of bulk items.   Electronics contain hazardous waste materials such as lead, mercury, arsenic and cadmium, among other things.  Collect all your non-working batteries and chunks of Styrofoam (TM)  to deposit when you make the trip.
