E-Waste Disposal in Dallas: Four Free City Drop-Off Sites

Item: Electronic waste — computers, laptops and monitors, TVs of every type (CRT, console, projection and flat-screen), printers and copiers, keyboards and mice, cell phones, tablets and small servers, cables, VCR/DVD/CD players, game consoles, cameras, scanners, stereos, microwaves and similar consumer electronics

Jurisdiction: City of Dallas Department of Sanitation Services service area. Electronics drop-off is residents-only and residency-based — not tied to who holds the water account. Dallas County's Home Chemical Collection Center (HC3, 11234 Plano Road, Dallas 75243) is a separate county facility that takes small electronics but not TVs or large appliances, and is free only for residents of Dallas and the named participating cities.

Dallas does not pick up electronics at the curb, and there is no pickup to schedule. The monthly brush-and-bulky collection will not take them, the garbage roll cart is not the route, and the blue recycling cart is not the route either. What Dallas does have is a genuinely free drop-off network — four City e-cycling locations — plus a county facility, two retailers, a nonprofit donation route and a state-mandated manufacturer program behind it.

The complication is not the rules; it is that the City's own pages disagree with each other about hours, about one phone number, and about whether electronics are accepted at one of the four locations. This guide lays out each route, the exact item split that decides your trip, and the short list of things to confirm by phone before you load a vehicle — so your first attempt is the trip that works.

Quick Answer

Dallas does not collect electronics curbside. Electronics are excluded from the monthly brush-and-bulky collection and are banned from both the garbage roll cart and the blue recycling cart. There is no City e-waste pickup service to schedule.

Instead, Dallas residents drop electronics off free at four City e-cycling locations:

• Customer Convenience Recycling Center at McCommas Bluff Landfill — 5100 Youngblood Road, (214) 670-0977 (electronics acceptance is inconsistent across City pages — call before hauling here; see below)
• Northwest (Bachman) Transfer Station — 9500 Harry Hines Boulevard
• Northeast (Fair Oaks) Transfer Station — 7677 Fair Oaks Avenue, (214) 670-6126
• Southwest (Westmoreland) Transfer Station — 4610 S. Westmoreland Road, (214) 670-1927

The service is residents-only and residency-based: bring a current, valid driver's license plus proof of Dallas residency — a Dallas address on the license, or a current Dallas water bill. Eligibility does not depend on whose name is on the water account, which is why renters qualify on the same terms as homeowners.

For computers, phones and small electronics there is also the Dallas County Home Chemical Collection Center (HC3) at 11234 Plano Road, (214) 553-1765 — but HC3 explicitly refuses TVs and large appliances. A TV goes to a City e-cycling site or to a manufacturer or retailer program.

The City's own pages give conflicting e-cycling hours, and one transfer station has two published phone numbers. Call the site, 3-1-1, or the Recycle Line at (214) 670-4475 before you load the car.

Quick Facts

• Curbside e-waste pickup: none exists to schedule.
• Brush and bulky: electronics are on the 2026 calendar's "Items NOT Accepted" list, alongside tires, construction debris, hazardous materials, chemicals, paints, refrigerant-based (Freon) appliances and commercial waste.
• Blue recycling cart: the City's metal guidance says "NO electronics."
• Garbage roll cart: not a route — household hazardous waste is routed to the separate program.
• Free City drop-off: four locations, Dallas residents only, no published per-item fee.
• What the gate checks: a current, valid driver's license plus Dallas residency proof.
• Free vehicle types: passenger cars, station wagons, pickups and trailers under 15 feet hauling your own residential waste.
• Processing: URT, an e-Stewards certified recycler.
• County center: HC3 takes computers, phones and small electronics — not TVs or large appliances.
• Other free routes: Best Buy in-store (free categories), Staples, Goodwill Dallas / Dell Reconnect, and TCEQ-listed manufacturer take-back.
• Your job before hand-off: wipe your own data — no route does it for you.
• Hours: deliberately not published here. The City's pages conflict; call first.

Which Route Fits Your Item?

Three Places Electronics Must Not Go

Not in the blue recycling cart. The City's recycling FAQ states it in its metal guidance: no metal hangers, no car parts, no electronics.

Not in the garbage roll cart. The Residential Garbage Collection page's "Items Not Accepted" list prohibits household hazardous waste — batteries, oil, cleaning products, paint, antifreeze — and routes that material to the separate household hazardous waste program. No City page cites an ordinance number for an electronics-in-garbage ban, so treat any specific code citation you see for that as unverified.

Not out with brush and bulky. The official 2026 Brush & Bulky calendar — the December 2025 water bill insert — names electronics under "Items NOT Accepted," alongside tires, construction debris, hazardous materials, chemicals, paints, refrigerant-based (Freon) appliances and commercial waste. A TV at the curb during your collection week creates no pickup.

Paint, chemicals, tires and fluorescent tubes from the same cleanout have their own routes and their own rules; electronics are the stream with a free City drop-off behind them.

The Four Free City E-Cycling Locations

The recycling FAQ says the service is provided to all Dallas residents at no charge "to prevent TV's and computers from going to landfills and illegal dump sites." The Resident's Recycling & Disposal Guide says the same: the e-cycling sites are provided to all Dallas residents at no charge.

• Customer Convenience Recycling Center at McCommas Bluff Landfill — 5100 Youngblood Road, (214) 670-0977.
• Northwest (Bachman) Transfer Station — 9500 Harry Hines Boulevard. Two numbers are published: (214) 670-6161 on the Landfill & Transfer Stations page, and 214-670-6150 with 214-243-2670 for weekends in the recycling FAQ. Do not rely on one number — go through 3-1-1.
• Northeast (Fair Oaks) Transfer Station — 7677 Fair Oaks Avenue, (214) 670-6126.
• Southwest (Westmoreland) Transfer Station — 4610 S. Westmoreland Road, (214) 670-1927.

The McCommas Bluff caveat matters, so it belongs in the open, not in a footnote. The City's electronics page and the recycling FAQ both list the landfill among the e-cycling sites, and the Resident's Guide says drop-off sites are at "the transfer stations and landfill." But the Landfill & Transfer Stations accepted-materials table names electronics only at the three transfer stations, each marked "Electronics (residents only)." Call (214) 670-0977 before hauling there. The three transfer stations are the confirmed locations.

No hours are published in this guide on purpose. The recycling FAQ and the Landfill & Transfer Stations page give different e-cycling hours for the same sites. Treat no single published schedule as authoritative — call the site, 3-1-1, or the Recycle Line at (214) 670-4475 on the day you plan to go.

Residency Proof and Entry Rules

Quoted from the Landfill & Transfer Stations page: a current, valid driver's license is required for entry, "as well as proof of Dallas residency, which may be through a Dallas address on the driver's license or a current Dallas water bill." A Dallas address on your license works on its own — you do not need a utility bill in your own name.

There is no charge for Dallas residents arriving in passenger cars, station wagons, pickups and trailers less than 15 feet long, hauling their own residential waste. Electronics are residents-only at the three transfer stations.

Commercial and business customers are not served by the City e-cycling drop-off. The City directs businesses with working equipment to nonprofit donation, and non-working equipment to private recyclers that charge a fee — with no City price published.

What Electronics the City Sites Accept

The accepted list covers ordinary consumer electronics: computer and flat-screen monitors; CRT, console, projection and flat-screen TVs; computers, laptops and small servers; printers, copiers and fax machines; office phones, cell phones and pagers; keyboards and mice; camcorders and cameras; VCR, DVD and CD players; electronic toys and kitchen electronics; scanners, docking stations, computer fans, speakers and receivers; microwaves; remote controls; radios, stereos and DVRs; GPS units; walkie-talkies; game consoles and cable boxes; digital and satellite receivers; tablets; MP3 players; routers; and calculators.

City-collected electronics go to URT, an e-Stewards certified recycler, and the Resident's Guide states City e-cycling is recycled using ISO 14001:2004 and E-Stewards standards.

That is a broad list, which is why the free City route covers most household electronics — including the TVs and large items the county center will refuse.

Dallas County HC3 — Small Electronics Yes, TVs No

This is the most common wasted trip in Dallas e-waste disposal, and it is worth understanding before you drive.

The Dallas County Home Chemical Collection Center at 11234 Plano Road, Dallas, TX 75243, (214) 553-1765 accepts "computers, cell phones, small electronics" alongside household chemicals, paint, lawn and garden chemicals, aerosols, pool chemicals, cleaners, batteries, automotive fluids, oil filters and fluorescent tubes.

Its "don't bring" list explicitly includes TVs and large appliances. Also refused: business or commercial waste, containers larger than 5 gallons, tires, explosives and ammunition, shock-sensitive materials, smoke detectors, radioactive materials, medical waste, common trash or recyclables, and construction debris.

Hours: Tuesdays 9:00 a.m.–7:30 p.m.; Wednesdays and Thursdays 8:30 a.m.–5:00 p.m.; the 2nd and 4th Saturdays 9:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m. Closed Mondays, Fridays and Sundays.

Eligibility: free for residents of Addison, Dallas, DeSoto, Duncanville, Farmers Branch, Garland, Highland Park, Irving, Mesquite, Richardson, Rowlett, Sachse, Seagoville, Sunnyvale, University Park and unincorporated Dallas County, with a driver's license plus a water or other utility bill. Residents of all other cities "must pay a minimum of $100.00 for waste management fees."

Never mix electronics into an HHW load you are taking to HC3 — the facility refuses common trash and recyclables, containers over 5 gallons, medical waste and construction debris, and a mixed container can be turned away.

Texas Manufacturer Take-Back Programs

Texas law requires television and computer-equipment manufacturers to offer recycling opportunities to consumers. Two state hubs route you to the brand's own program: TexasRecyclesComputers.org for free computer recycling, and TexasRecyclesTVs.org for TV options including mail-back.

Under 30 TAC 328.137, manufacturers selling new computer equipment in or into Texas must offer a free and convenient recycling program and report annually to TCEQ; retailers may sell only equipment from listed manufacturers, and can be fined up to $2,000 per violation.

Two things to keep straight. TCEQ states it does not provide recycling services — it only helps you locate options. And coverage depends on your brand being on the state list, so check the brand first and verify acceptance with the manufacturer before shipping. Mail-back means shipping costs and transit risk, which matters most for a glass-screen TV.

Retailer Routes — Best Buy and Staples

Best Buy takes electronics free in store at the Customer Service counter: computers, laptops and netbooks, tablets and e-readers, printers, scanners and fax machines, mice and keyboards, hard drives, modems, routers and hubs, ink and toner, cables, phones, select audio/video gear, and small appliances.

Published limits are three items per household per day, including two TVs or monitors per day and up to five laptops per day. TVs and monitors 50 inches and smaller carry a $29.99 fee per item, except Insignia and Dynex sets 50 inches and smaller, which are free. A conflicting line on the same Best Buy page suggests 10 items per day, so confirm the limit in store. Recycling is for residents only — business items and anything presenting a health or safety hazard are refused.

Texas is not on Best Buy's no-fee state list, so the $29.99 fee appears to apply here; it is Best Buy's fee, not the City's, and it is worth confirming at your store. Haul-away costs $49.99 with a delivered replacement product, or $199.99 standalone for up to two large products plus unlimited select smaller items.

Staples states it accepts a wide range of electronic items for free recycling every day, no purchase necessary, all brands, regardless of where they were purchased. It publishes no detailed item list or limit, and older coverage describing a $10 computer or monitor fee and a six-device limit conflicts with the current page. Quote no Staples figure — verify at the store.

Donation First — Goodwill Dallas and Dell Reconnect

If a device still works, the City's own guidance points to nonprofit donation first. The practical route is Goodwill Dallas through Dell Reconnect: any brand of computer equipment, any condition, recycled free at any Goodwill donation site. That covers monitors, speakers, computers, cords and cables, printers, ink and toner cartridges, scanners, software, hard drives, cell phones, keyboards, tablets, mice, and video game equipment.

Goodwill will not take mattresses or box springs, hazardous materials, large appliances, weapons or ammunition, or broken, soiled or unsafe items — so it is a route for computers, phones and peripherals, not a dead refrigerator.

Whatever route you choose, remove your personal data first. Goodwill asks donors to do it, and no one downstream does it for you.

Fees — What Is Free and What Is Charged

Free routes:

• City e-cycling drop-off at all four locations, for Dallas residents.
• Dallas County HC3, for Dallas and the named participating cities.
• Goodwill Dallas with Dell Reconnect, for any brand of computer equipment in any condition.
• Best Buy's free in-store categories, within the daily limit.
• Staples in-store electronics recycling.
• TCEQ-listed manufacturer programs.

Routes that carry a fee:

• Best Buy's $29.99 per TV or monitor 50 inches and smaller (Insignia and Dynex excepted), plus its $49.99 or $199.99 haul-away.
• HC3's $100 minimum for residents of cities not on the participating list.

No City of Dallas per-item e-waste fee appears on any City page, and private recycler, ITAD and junk-removal pricing is not published by the City at all. Get a written quote and compare it against the free routes before paying anyone.

Verify Before You Load the Car

1. Confirm you are a Dallas resident. The City sites are residents-only and checked at the gate. Irving, Garland, Richardson, Mesquite, Farmers Branch, Highland Park, University Park, Carrollton, Plano and unincorporated Dallas County run their own programs.
2. Match the item to the destination. TVs and large appliances cannot go to HC3.
3. Call before loading. McCommas Bluff (214) 670-0977; Fair Oaks (214) 670-6126; Westmoreland (214) 670-1927; or 3-1-1 / the Recycle Line (214) 670-4475. No e-cycling hours are published in this guide because the City's pages conflict.
4. For Bachman/Northwest, do not rely on one number. The City publishes two. Route through 3-1-1.
5. If McCommas Bluff is your destination, confirm electronics acceptance by phone first.
6. Confirm your proof qualifies. A current valid driver's license with a Dallas address, or a current Dallas water bill.
7. For HC3, confirm your city is on the participating list — (214) 553-1765.
8. For Best Buy, confirm the daily limit, the 50-inch rule and whether the $29.99 fee applies at your store. For a manufacturer program, check the brand against the TCEQ list first.
9. For a community cleanup or BOPA event, call 3-1-1 or (214) 670-4475 first. City sources conflict — a Code Compliance event flyer lists electronics as accepted, while the Sanitation event do-not-bring list names appliances, TVs and microwaves, and the Resident's Guide's Round-Up list includes e-waste. Treat event acceptance as unconfirmed, and do not rely on any published event date.

Prepping the Load — Data, Documents, Separation and Safety

1. Wipe your data first. TCEQ advises deleting private information from hard drives before donating, reselling or recycling computers, and states that consumers are responsible for any information left on a computer that is collected, recycled or reused. Goodwill asks donors to remove personal data from storage media, and Best Buy publishes hard-drive wiping guidance. No City route publishes a data-destruction guarantee for you.
2. Bring documents. Driver's license plus Dallas residency proof for the City sites; driver's license plus water or other utility bill for HC3.
3. Separate batteries from electronics. Alkaline batteries may go in the garbage container or to a battery, oil and paint (BOPA) collection event; rechargeable batteries may go to retailers such as Lowe's and Home Depot.
4. Handle CRTs with help. CRT televisions and monitors are heavy and front-weighted: use two people or a hand truck, never carry one alone down stairs, and strap the load so nothing shifts or falls from a pickup bed or trailer under 15 feet.
5. Never break open a screen. Do not break open a CRT or flat-panel screen — the glass, phosphors and backlight components are exactly why this material has its own route, and a shattered tube is harder to place anywhere.
6. Isolate damaged batteries. A swollen or damaged lithium-ion battery is a fire risk in a vehicle or at a facility; handle it as its own item, never punctured, crushed or charged unattended.
7. Secure the load. Loose electronics shifting in a pickup bed or trailer are the most common reason items arrive damaged and get refused at the gate.
8. Keep the streams apart. Electronics to a City e-cycling site; paint, chemicals, automotive fluids and fluorescent tubes to HC3; batteries separated as above.

Apartments, Renters and Shared Trash Areas

Renters are eligible on the same terms as homeowners — this is where e-waste differs from curbside service. Drop-off eligibility is residency-based and does not depend on who holds the water account, so if the water bill is in your landlord's name, a Dallas address on your driver's license is itself accepted proof. Building type does not gate it either.

Recycling infrastructure is not an e-waste route. The blue cart rules say "NO electronics," and the City's apartment-oriented community recycling drop-off containers accept only recyclables: plastics 1–7, aluminum, steel and tin cans, milk and juice cartons, mixed paper, corrugated cardboard and boxboard, and glass jars and bottles.

Never leave electronics beside a dumpster, in a compactor area, in a shared trash room or in an alley. The Resident's Recycling & Disposal Guide states: "Please don't leave your bulky items or unwanted furniture in the community trash area. This is considered ILLEGAL DUMPING." A lease deadline is not a defense.

Most properties with eight or more dwelling units on a lot are served for garbage and recycling by a permitted private collector under the multifamily recycling ordinance — at least 11 gallons per unit per week of recycling capacity, tenant and staff education, registration with Code Compliance, and an annual recycling plan, with fines up to $500 per violation, per day. That ordinance covers recyclables and creates no e-waste service. If your building uses a private hauler, ask the leasing office whether it offers e-waste pickup; no private-hauler e-waste price is published.

Resident Scenarios

A dead 55-inch flat-screen and no truck. Skip HC3 — it refuses TVs. The City sites take flat-screen TVs, but you need a vehicle and Dallas residency proof. Best Buy's standing drop-off covers only TVs and monitors 50 inches and smaller, so ask the store about paid haul-away rather than assuming.

A renter moving out Saturday with a landlord-owned water account. A driver's license with a Dallas address is accepted residency proof, so drop-off still works. The dumpster does not. If timing makes the trip impossible, Goodwill or a retailer counter handles a small load.

A working laptop and a drawer of old phones. Donation first: Goodwill Dallas through Dell Reconnect takes any brand of computer equipment in any condition, free, at any donation site. Wipe the drives before you go.

A cleanout that includes paint, batteries and a TV. Keep the streams separate. The TV goes to a City e-cycling site; paint, chemicals and tubes go to HC3 if your city is on the participating list; alkaline batteries can go in the garbage container or a BOPA event, and rechargeable batteries can go to retailers such as Lowe's and Home Depot.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Setting electronics out with brush and bulky, or putting them in the garbage or blue cart, and waiting for a pickup that will not come.
• Driving a TV or large appliance to HC3, which explicitly refuses both.
• Assuming drop-off is tied to the water account, then skipping a free route you qualify for.
• Arriving without a driver's license or Dallas residency proof.
• Trusting a published e-cycling schedule, or one Bachman phone number, when the City's own pages conflict.
• Hauling e-waste to McCommas Bluff without phoning (214) 670-0977 first.
• Leaving a TV by the dumpster on move-out — City materials treat that as illegal dumping.
• Quoting a private recycler, ITAD or junk-removal price as if the City published it.
• Assuming a community cleanup event will take electronics because one City flyer lists them; other City sources say the opposite.
• Citing a City Code section number for an electronics-in-garbage ban — none was verified.

FAQ

Will Dallas pick up my old TV, computer or printer at the curb?

No — electronics are excluded from brush and bulky and banned from the garbage and blue carts, and there is no City e-waste pickup to schedule.

Where can I drop electronics off free?

At the four City e-cycling locations — McCommas Bluff Landfill plus the Bachman/Northwest, Fair Oaks/Northeast and Westmoreland/Southwest transfer stations. The three transfer stations are the confirmed locations; call (214) 670-0977 before taking e-waste to McCommas Bluff.

What do I need to bring?

A current, valid driver's license plus proof of Dallas residency — a Dallas address on the license or a current Dallas water bill.

Can I take my old TV to HC3 instead?

No — HC3 takes computers, phones and small electronics and explicitly refuses TVs and large appliances.

I live in Irving, Garland, Richardson or Mesquite. Can I use the Dallas sites?

No — the City sites require Dallas residency, and HC3's free tier covers only Dallas and the named participating cities. Everyone else pays a $100 minimum there.

Do I know the current drop-off hours?

No published schedule is final — the City's pages conflict. Call the site, 3-1-1 or (214) 670-4475.

Someone else is hauling it. What will that cost?

Only Best Buy's figures are published: $49.99 with a delivered replacement product, or $199.99 standalone. Private recycler and junk-removal pricing is unpublished — get a written quote.

Do I need to wipe the computer first?

Yes, and you are responsible. TCEQ: "Consumers are responsible for any information left on a computer that is collected, recycled, or reused."

Can I take electronics to a community cleanup event?

Treat it as unconfirmed — City event sources conflict. Ask 3-1-1 or (214) 670-4475 first.

Does the blue recycling cart take small electronics like cables and chargers?

No. The City's recycling rules state "NO electronics" in the metal guidance, and the apartment-oriented community drop-off containers take recyclables only.

Can I put a microwave or a small kitchen appliance in the City e-cycling drop-off?

Yes — microwaves and kitchen electronics are on the City's accepted list, and HC3's event do-not-bring list names microwaves, so a City e-cycling site is the route for one.

I rent — does the drop-off require the water bill in my name?

No. Eligibility is residency-based, not account-based. A Dallas address on your driver's license is itself accepted proof.

Details on this page were checked against official City of Dallas, Dallas County, TCEQ and provider sources on 2026-09-09. Confirm the site, its current hours, its accepted items and any quoted fee with the City, the county or the provider before you load a vehicle.

Jurisdiction and eligibility warning: this guide covers the City of Dallas e-cycling service area only. The four City drop-off locations are for Dallas residents and are residency-based — not tied to who holds the water account — with entry requiring a current valid driver's license plus a Dallas address on the license or a current Dallas water bill. Independent suburbs (Irving, Garland, Richardson, Mesquite, Farmers Branch, Highland Park, University Park, Carrollton, Plano and others) and unincorporated Dallas County run their own programs and are not covered by the City sites. Dallas County's Home Chemical Collection Center is a separate county facility: it takes small electronics but not TVs or large appliances, and it is free only for residents of Dallas, Addison, DeSoto, Duncanville, Farmers Branch, Garland, Highland Park, Irving, Mesquite, Richardson, Rowlett, Sachse, Seagoville, Sunnyvale, University Park and unincorporated Dallas County — residents of all other cities pay a $100 minimum. Commercial and business customers are not served by the City e-cycling drop-off, and retailer programs such as Best Buy's are intended for residents only. Community event electronics acceptance is unconfirmed across City sources, and no event dates are published here.

Hours, phone numbers, accepted items, fees and retailer terms on every cited page can change. The City's own pages already conflict on e-cycling hours and on one transfer-station phone number, so confirm the site and its current rules by calling the site, 3-1-1 or the Recycle Line at (214) 670-4475 before loading a vehicle. Wipe your own data before any hand-off.
