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.

A house, a condo or an apartment. Choose an accessible outdoor spot that works for your property. You arrange the move outside; we take it from there.

Recyclable electronics cannot go in the trash pile and are dropped at the Richard A. Curry Environmental Complex on weekdays, free of charge, where flat-screen televisions, monitors, computers and microwaves are accepted.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Residents and organizations in West Alabama, on weekdays between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. The city states that citizens and businesses are not charged or compensated for dropping off electronics.
When & how
Drop the item at the Richard A. Curry Environmental Complex at 3440 Reese Phifer Ave. on a weekday between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. The printed e-cycle flyer gives 3440 Kauloosa Ave. for the same complex while the city pages give Reese Phifer, so confirm the entrance with the city on 205-248-4900 on a first trip. Electronics are not taken on city holidays, after hours, on weekends, at the drop-off recycling trailers or with curbside recycling.
Get it ready
Park in the designated space and a crew member collects the accepted items from your vehicle. Wipe personal data where you can, because the city assumes no responsibility for data left on collected devices. Projector style televisions, light bulbs, non-rechargeable batteries, VHS and cassette tapes and smoke detectors are refused, so confirm an unusual item at 205-248-5311.
Keep garbage, chemicals, tires and electronics out of the pile
Household garbage, hazardous waste such as paint, light bulbs, batteries and chemicals, recyclable materials, tires and loose glass are refused in the trash pile, and so is anything generated by a compensated person such as a contractor or tree trimmer. Recyclable electronics are refused too and have to go to the Curry Complex on a weekday instead, while household recyclables belong in the free curbside bin or a county drop-off trailer.
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.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
TV removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Tuscaloosa.
How much does TV removal cost in Tuscaloosa?+
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 Tuscaloosa?+
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 Tuscaloosa residents take old televisions and computers?+
To the Richard A. Curry Environmental Complex at 3440 Reese Phifer Ave., on weekdays between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. The accepted list includes flat-screen televisions, LCD and CRT monitors, desktop and laptop computers, printers, scanners and microwaves, and the city does not charge for the drop-off. Electronics are refused in the trash pile and are not taken on weekends or holidays.Official guidance
