Curbside Electronics Pick-Up
City of Fort Lauderdale residents can conveniently and safely dispose of home electronics curbside on the same day as their scheduled blue cart recycling!
Residents in the City of Fort Lauderdale may participate in the Curbside Electronics Program by completing the Electronics Pick-Up Request Form below.
Curbside electronics pick-up aims to protect the environment from potentially dangerous electronic components, also known as e-waste. Hazardous materials, such as lead, cadmium and mercury, are found in electronic products and can pose a serious risk to human health and the environment if they are disposed in normal waste streams.

Fort Lauderdale residents can schedule a pick-up by completing the Curbside Electronics Pick-Up Request Form below by 4 pm on the day before their regularly scheduled recycling day.

All electronics should be placed at the curb next to your blue cart no earlier than 6 pm the night before your scheduled collection day but no later than 7 am on your scheduled collection day. You can place items in a cardboard box if they are small.
