You’ll know when it’s gone.
Get a text when your hauler is on the way and photos when the job is done. With your TV outside and accessible, you don’t need to stay home for pickup.
The TV’s type and size determine which item to choose. A new model and an old model can use the same option if their shape and screen size match.
Flat-screen TVs
Measure the screen diagonally, corner to corner, without the frame. Choose under 42 inches or 42 inches and larger. A TV measuring exactly 42 inches belongs to the larger option.
Tube TVs
An older tube or CRT television has curved glass and a deep, heavy body. Choose Tube TV even if its screen is small. A rear-projection TV is different; send a photo before booking so we can check the fit.
TV stands and other electronics
The TV price covers the television. Add a media console, computer monitor or other item separately if it is going too. Choose only what you want removed and review the combined price.

Electronics are not part of the weekly curbside recycling can or the everyday drop-off list. The city takes them during special recycling days in the last two weeks of each quarter, alongside paint and fluorescent bulbs.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no charge for the quarterly special recycling drives, so the drop-off terms for a screen are confirmed with Public Works at 251-968-1156 before a first trip.
When & how
The 2026 special recycling days run March 21 to 30, June 20 to 29, September 26 to October 5, and December 19 through January 5, 2027, which the city describes as the last two weeks of each quarter. Anything outside those windows has to wait or use another route.
Get it ready
Wipe the drive or reset the device and keep the screen whole, because a broken tube is a handling hazard. Never put electronics in the curbside recycling can or in the debris pile, and keep them out of the drop-off bins except during a special recycling drive.
Debris is out the night before the route day or by 6:15 a.m.
The residential debris pass is a weekly route rather than an appointment, so no call is needed and the material has to be at the collection point the night before the scheduled route day or in the morning by 6:15 a.m. Only single-family residential homes qualify for the service, and the pile has to be household material from that address.
Garbage containers sit close to the edge but clear of the lanes
Inside the corporate limits, containers go one to five feet from the street or alley edge with clearance from vehicle and bicycle lanes, no earlier than 4 p.m. the day before collection, and come back in by 7 p.m. on the collection day. Beach Boulevard properties on Alabama Highway 182 use designated collection points instead, staged no earlier than 4 a.m. and removed by 6 p.m. the same day.
Containers are stored behind the front building line
When a container is not staged for collection, it stays behind the front building line, and a property over one acre keeps its containers at least 100 feet from the public right of way. In designated areas a waste management crew handles container placement and retrieval under a city council resolution, so residents there do not stage the container themselves.
Keep residue, aerosol, wax and styrofoam out of the recycling can
Carts go out the night before or by 6 a.m. on the service day. Aluminum cans, cardboard, newspaper, magazines, office paper, paper products, rinsed plastic jugs and rinsed tin cans belong in the curbside can, while anything containing food residue, oil, aerosol, wax or styrofoam is refused there.
Sort everything into the right bin at the drop-off center
The drop-off recycling center stays open around the clock, and all material has to be sorted into the proper bins. Styrofoam, cardboard, plastic, plastic bags, paper, aluminum cans, household batteries, glass jars and bottles, scrap metal and tin cans are accepted, while medical waste, aerosol cans, paint and tires are refused, and paint, electronics and fluorescent bulbs wait for the special recycling drives.
Solvents, pesticides and herbicides are held for the annual collection
The city's residential debris policy says environmentally dangerous hazardous waste such as solvents, pesticides and herbicides must be held until the City announces its annual hazardous waste collection, when residents bring them to a central staging area for proper testing, packaging and disposal. Paint, chemicals and batteries are otherwise kept out of the debris pile and handled through the city's published routes.
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.

Round-the-clock drop-off recycling center on West 36th Avenue
A household with sorted recyclables, household batteries, glass jars and bottles or scrap metal, including an old appliance.
Cost & conditions
The city publishes no fee for the drop-off center and notes only that it does not pay cash for scrap metal, so the drop-off terms are confirmed with Public Works at 251-968-1156.
Arrange it
Drive to the drop-off center behind Mobile Lumber on West 36th Avenue at any hour, since the site is open 24/7, and sort each material into its own bin.
Medical waste, aerosol cans, paint and tires are refused, and paint, electronics and fluorescent bulbs are accepted only during the quarterly special recycling drives. The city publishes the street number as 19901 W 36th Ave. in its FAQ and as 160 W. 36th Avenue on the trash page, so confirm the entrance before a first trip.

Quarterly special recycling days for electronics, paint and bulbs
A household with electronics, paint or fluorescent lightbulbs that the everyday bins and the weekly debris route do not take.
Cost & conditions
The city publishes no charge for the special recycling drives, so the drop-off terms are confirmed with Public Works at 251-968-1156 before a first trip.
Arrange it
Bring the material during one of the published 2026 windows, which run the last two weeks of each quarter: March 21 to 30, June 20 to 29, September 26 to October 5, and December 19 through January 5, 2027.
The drives are the only published window for electronics and paint at the city site, so anything collected outside them has to go to a county facility instead, and the everyday bins still refuse medical waste, aerosol cans, paint and tires.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
TV removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Gulf Shores.
How much does TV removal cost in Gulf Shores?+
A flat-screen TV under 42 inches is $79 as the first item and $19 as an additional item. Larger flat screens and tube TVs have their own prices. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Choose the type that matches your TV and review your total, including any applicable tax, before payment.
Can I get same-day TV pickup in Gulf Shores?+
Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup. Choose from the dates offered at checkout and have the TV outside according to your confirmation. We text you when your hauler is on the way and provide photos when the pickup is done.
Will Dropcurb remove my TV from the wall or carry it downstairs?+
You arrange unmounting, disconnection and indoor carrying before pickup. Dropcurb starts at an accessible outdoor location, where we load your TV and take it away. If you need help removing a mounted TV or moving a heavy tube TV outside, arrange that separately before your pickup day.
Do you pick up old tube or CRT televisions?+
Yes. Choose Tube TV for an older television with curved glass and a deep, heavy body. Its price is $249 as the first item and $249 as an additional item. A rear-projection television is a different item; send a photo before booking rather than choosing the tube-TV option.
Does my old TV have to work?+
Your TV does not need to turn on for removal. Choose its type and size and arrange to have it outside before pickup. A non-working TV and a TV with exposed broken glass are different situations; send a photo of unusual damage so we can confirm the plan before you book.
When can a Gulf Shores household drop off electronics?+
During the special recycling days only, which the city schedules for the last two weeks of each quarter. The published 2026 windows are March 21 to 30, June 20 to 29, September 26 to October 5, and December 19 through January 5, 2027, and those drives are also when paint and fluorescent bulbs are accepted.Official guidance
