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.

Televisions are refused at the city's recycling centers. The city directs televisions and other large electronics to a specialty recycler in Chickasaw and also names older routes through a charity and a retailer.
City cost & eligibility
The city lists a disposal fee only for CRT televisions at the specialty recycler and a recycling fee at the retailer it names, so confirm the current charge and the accepted device with the route you choose.
When & how
Confirm the route, hours and charge before loading, because the city recycling centers will not take a television.
Get it ready
Never leave a television at a city recycling drop-off and never mix it into a trash pile or the garbage cart. Ask about home pickup for an elderly or disabled resident when you call the charity route.
Do not put electronics, appliances, paint, tires, glass, sinks, bathtubs, HVAC units, sheetrock, insulation or fencing on the trash pile or in the garbage cart. The city leaves the entire pile when prohibited items are mixed in, and appliances that hold refrigerant are not picked up at all. Household chemicals, batteries and paint belong at a household hazardous waste collection event.
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.
A household with a CRT television or an older set that the city recycling centers will not take.
Cost & conditions
$25 per CRT or older television recycled at the retailer named on the city trash rules page. Confirm the store still accepts the set and that the recycling desk is staffed before loading, because the city page lists the fee but not the store hours.
Arrange it
Call the Geek Squad desk number on the city trash rules page to confirm the program, then take the set to the store.
The city page names this route only for CRT type and older televisions, and it is a retailer program rather than a city service, so the store can change its acceptance rules.
Mobile residents can self-haul, and the city lists four area landfills with their addresses, phones and hours on one page. Only the Chastang Landfill listing includes household garbage alongside trash and demolition debris; the other three are listed for trash and demolition debris only, and the page carries no fee schedule for any of them, so confirm the price and the accepted material before leaving. Recycling and residential electronics are the exception at the curb, because the three city drop-off centers take them free from Mobile residents.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
TV removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Mobile.
How much does TV removal cost in Mobile?+
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 Mobile?+
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.
Where do televisions go in Mobile?+
Not to the city recycling centers, which refuse televisions of any kind. The city directs televisions and other large electronics to Ransom Recycling at 320 South Craft Highway in Chickasaw, and it also names a charity route for flat screens and a retailer route for CRT and older sets.
